aileron

[Ray]

Ok guys I needd some help. I rebuilt one aileron and when I started the tear down on the other one I have these plastic pieces on the nose ribs what are they for and do I need to go back and fix the other aileron. Where would I get new ones from to.

Re: aileron

I had some of them too. If memory serves me correctly, the plastic pieces were used to align the leading edge aluminum across the front of the nose ribs, so it ran a straight line. The ribs were not always in alignment at the leading edge.
