I assembled my left aileron without any twist issues that I know of now. But after assembling the right aileron and measuring the outboard edges with a level, there is about a 1.5 º difference and when I lay the aileron on a flat table, one end is raised above the surface.
The instructions tells you to apply a twist to the aileron assembly in the opposite direction to remove the twist. Without specific instructions, I have no clue as to how to do this without being sure that I won't damage my aileron. I imagine that I would clamp one end of the aileron to the table and then apply a twist force on the opposite end. Would I have to elevate the whole aileron to give it freedom to move along the entire length? Do I have to clamp down the end that I am trying to correct and apply the force on the opposite end?
I'm sure that many others have figured this out. I would appreciate you sharing your techniques, and pictures if you have them, that worked best for taking out the twist before I close the "D" shaped cell of the aileron.
Thanks.
