I ran into a pretty serious problem with my ailerons today, but I'm at a loss to explain what's gone wrong. I drilled and put together the spar, ribs and counterweight as directed. I put the stiffeners on the skins. Then I temporarily riveted the bottom skin to the ribs as directed. Then flipped it over and put it on my (very flat) table and clecoed the top skin to the ribs as directed. Then I put clecoed the leading edge skin to the spar, as directed. This was very difficult - I had to pry with a hole-punch to get the holes to pull together. When I finally got it on, it caused a severe buckling and significant wave in the upper and lower main skins, which cannot be flattened out with weights. Is as though the leading edge skin is pulling the spar out of line, so that it's making hte main skins buckle.
What to do??? Photo attached shows the situtation (two photos together):
