I have been following the instructions on how to create a Spacewalker
left aileron.
I have taken some images of the steps so I hope people will find it useful:
1: Insert E14 on the INSIDE ends between ribs E1 and E3. Apply a single drop of CA to the INSIDE edge between the two. The idea here is that the E14 parts are not glued to the sides of the ribs they are butted up against. They will form the outer ends of the aileron.
The wing-edge E14 is tucked well into the slot in A10 and is aligned with the the rib (E3).
The wing in the above picture is place upside up so that the notch at the trailing edge is at the bottom (Orange arrow).
This is where I later placed part D2.
Use only a drop of thin CA (Marked with a grey circle)
2: Glue in D2 along with the bottom B7. Once dry then glue in the top B7.
The wing is displayed from above with D2 and B7 glued to place.
Note that they are glued to the three internal ribs and to the two E14 parts.
Be extra cautious not to glue B7, D2 and E14 to the outer ribs (E1 & E3).
Also, I had to shorten B7 so it will fall into place.
3: Cut both E14 pieces as well as the ribs protruding from A10. Cut them flush with A10. You will now have material on the aileron that you will have to either sand or cut off flush with the leading edge of the two B7 pieces.
Here is how you cut the ribs and the two E14 parts.
The aileron is detached (One B7 part is missing) as seen from above.
It is not ready to accommodate part G4 yet.
Now the aileron is ready to accommodate part G4
4: Install G4 to the leading edge of the aileron and then install the S1 pieces. Note that the S1 pieces are not very well labeled so you may have to "where's Waldo" to find the right lengths to go between the aileron ribs. From there you need to bevel or round off G4 to allow the ailerons to deflect. I would suggest a bevel as it is easier and will be less likely to bind. Just use a sanding block at a 45-degree angle or so and flatted G4 (top and bottom) from the leading edge to the center. This will create a peak at the leading edge akin to a bevel cut in FT terms... but a tad different.
Now the aileron is almost ready. One B7 part is missing and S1 parts are not found yet.
To bevel the G4 was quite a feet but in the end it looks quite good.
Once I complete the creation of this aileron I will post a final post.
Your comments are most welcome.
