Ailerons are largely done. Need to figure out how to square the hinges and test mount them before I cap the top of the ailerons. The first hinge attempt is pretty poor.

When I was building my Decathlon I had to build something very similar and it just would not look like I wanted it to. But what I did find was some U shape aluminum channel and cut it up so that it would do the trick and it looked good. I just cannot remember where I got it but if I do I will let you know.

Plans call for doublers to be 1/8 smaller than the rib and the one that came with the kit is slightly smaller. Plus it appears that the thickness should be 3/16" not 1/8". I will cut some and take a look.
