Hi there,



just beguining to attach the ailerons to my wings on my xs 

mono but they are too long!



i have read through the manual but cannot 

see where i am supposed to remove the excess.



is it from the inboard 

close-out next to the flap flange on the wing close out or on the wing 

tip end close-out on the aileron.



also what clearance should i be 

looking for as this is not mentioned either..

 some years to go 

yet!

I had the same issue. I think I trimmed most of the excess from the outboard end. I can't remember if I trimmed any from the inboard. The bolt at the inboard end has to be flush with the flange after the bolt is bonded in, so trim carefully on that end if you have to.

  

I believe the clearance between the flap and aileron is mentioned in the manual, 3-5mm I think.

I have a classic, but the length of the aileron and flap foam blanks determined the lengths. I had to reduce the outboard length of the aileron, and it reduced the flange size for the closeout to the point where I wasn't happy with it, so I cut it out, the closeout, and rebuilt a new one.

Hi Vic,

   Others have replied with the correct answers,

   Trim from the outboard end only, if you have to take off more than 3/16'', dig out the original closeout, deepen to 1/2'' and redo the closeout. [ 2 Bids]

   With the flap forced outboard so it hits the  flap closeout ''endplate'' ,you should shoot for a 1/8'' [ two mixing sticks] gap between the flap outboard end and the aileron inboard end.

   Fit the tip closeout panel arse backwards once you have the aileron trimmed to size [ and got the angle true ]

   Cheers,

   Nev.
