Greetings listers.



I'm working on the ailerons for my -7A and have a slight issue with the 

leading edge skins.  As you probably know, the bottom portion of the leading 

edge skin is flat and the top is curved.  The problem is that the top isn't 

curved enough.  I have to pull the skin down about 1 1/2 or 2 inches to cleco 

it to the aileron spar.  This makes the bottom skin bulge out.  Did anyone 

else run into this?  What did you do to fix it?  I've thought about trying to 

curl the top of the aileron leading edge skin some more, but not sure how to 

do that.



Thanks for any help you can offer.

For the archives:



Scott at Van's looked at the photos and is sending out new aileron 

leading edge skins.
