Finishing Tapes on Aileron Ribs


 We had another warm dry day today so I was able to get the finishing on the aileron ribs.  It was very windy so I worked on the deck outside my attic.  A little crowed but it was out of the wind.
 For the inboard ends of the ailerons I made patches to wrap the inboard ends so there would only be 2 layers of fabric in the aileron gap.  I marked and ironed the corners so they would fit snugly on the end.  I also made a tab so the fabric wrapped around the front side of the spar.

On the top and bottom the fabric extends 1" beyond the structure just like it would with a 2" tape.  I'll do the same thing with the aileron cut out on the wing.
