Hi Dave... I usually install aileron hinge line as 2 quarter inch pieces in the foam before I sheet the wing. I mark the hinge line with a T-Pin at each end of the hinge line, cut off so they just protrude through the balsa skin. After the sheeting glue has dried, you can line up a straight edge with the pins and cut through the skin on both sides to free up the aileron.
Great video, thank you for uploading it! Couple questions....What kind of fiberglass and and casting resin are you using? What are you going to coat the balsa with?
The wing can be fiberglassed and painted after sheeting but I usually cover the wings with Monokote. The wing shown in this video ended up weighing 11.9 oz with a JR 9411 servo and linkage (Ready to Fly).
I wouldn't buy into the carbin fiber info you heard. Carbon fiber gets its strength from multiple cross hatched layers held together with epoxy. Better off using just Monikote or typical laminating film.
How do you create, prepare, and install the control surfaces on your balsa covered foam core wings?
I have a set of similar foam balsa covered wings. Too heavy and wounder if there is an easy way to cut holes to lighten the wing.
