On my Acrosport2 I have built the wings and am now beginning the ailerons. What seems strange to me is that on the plans the aileron profile, before placing the 1/16" ply leading edge, the has the same height as the wing profile. Thus, once the ply in place, the aileron will be 1/8" thicker than the wing.
Is this normal ? aileron.GIF
As I haven't began yet, I could correct this by cutting 1/8" into the aileron spar, but I don't really like this solution.
What are your experiences ?
