Aileron End Bulkhead?

[mhorowit]

If I'm reading the blueprint correctly, the attached is my Aileron End Bulkhead.
and it looks like I'll be making two.

This was held in place by three nails, into the end-grain of the spar; no glue.

Anyone had experience building these? anything to be aware of? Tricks? Was yours secured like mine? - MikeH

Try making the hole first for the tube, then use a band saw and cut out the basic shape and then the belt sander to clean it up. I thought there might be a groove cut for the spar, you can cut it with a router or a table saw and miter. Good luck Tim

Mike,
I might have a good set that will clean up nicely. I will check tomorrow.

They do not have a groove for the spar. The hole looks like it is in the correct place judging by the picture you provided. A belt sander will come in handy for making this part. Winston

My aileron is covered now on the B model so I can't look at it but I looked at the ailerons for the Model A and they do have the groove so the B probably does too.
