I cannot find your post with the photos of the hinge less conversion. Could you post them again? Thanks.

I set my new ribs 227 mm and not the 327 called for in the plans and that gives good clearance at the tips. I don't agree with the hinge less ailerons having counter weights so all my ailerons are converted to hinged. And you can still pull the pin and test fit the aileron counterweight arm as it will be and not just held with cleco's.
I have also taken some pictures of the hinge less conversion and will post them soon.
