Finally building ailerons, following instructions, and all goes well until:
Cleco nose skin to bottom skin & spar (every other hole), then cleco to top skin & spar (every other hole). Talk about a fight! First assembly of tanks and LE's was a breeze! Then the skins (primarily top skin) had several waves - like 3/4" peak to valley.
After much massaging, adding boards and weight, and unclecoing of ribs, I got everything really flat, but then skin to rib holes were off (like figure 8's). More massaging and everything now lines up and is almost (a few slightly discernable waves) perfectly flat. I drilled all the holes except counterweight and TE wedge, and still have it weighted down.
So is this normal? Can I expect more trouble? Does this all work out in the end?
I've done a search and didn't find anything like this, but did find posts on other things I'm experiencing (like TE off a little, rib poking out past skin) that some filing and sanding will take care of.
