I'm getting ready to bend the ailerons. The plans call for 3/32 to 1/8 radius. They don't specify inside or outside radius, but a measurement from the drawings clearly indicates a 3/32 inside radius. I measured the flap radius and it is 5/32 inside. This exactly matches the drawings.
Questions:
1) Why would the flap trailing edge radius be different than the aileron?
2) I read that a larger radius results in a lighter control feel. Anyone have specific experience flying planes with different radius? I'm finding it hard to beleive that it makes any significant difference.
