Ladies, Gentlemen, People of the air,
It's official. We can turn . . . kind of. Over the past two weeks, I have been working on the finishing touches of the ailerons. I used the 1" rib foam and 4"x4" wood panels to construct the ailerons, making sure they'd be strong enough to handle the air resistance I will force them through. I then bolted the hinges of the wing onto the ailerons (with some difficulty in trying to get a perfectly square fit) so they could move freely. I bevelled the ailerons to give them a greater range of motion and now only have to attach the servo arms to the hinges via a thumbscrew (acting as the control horns) to complete the apparatus. When the receiver and transmitter come in, I will be able to test the strength of our servos and see exactly which servo-mounting adhesive to use. Here is a video showing (to a great extent) how the aileron has been mounted to the wing: vimeo.com/772252401/75ac654c4a Till' later, Sincerely, Cap'n Louie
