 Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 1:50 pm Post subject: Delaminating aileron trailing edge |
 |
|
The tailing edge of my ailerons are riveted at about six inch intervals and glued. Is this typical?
The glue has failed in a few spots. Is this something to worry about?
A hangar buddy has offered to help me fix it. His suggestion was to drill out all the rivets in the affected sections, clean the aluminum out then glue it with structural epoxy and clamp. Anything else I should keep in mind?
Awful timing. My check ride was in two days. I guess I'll have to postpone.

Believe it. I split my ailerons in the back and then revited. Why? so that if any water got inside it would drain out. I also put holes in the bottom rear of the ailerons to assist in drainage of water. I would leave them.
