I've hit a small snag with my first aileron. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be any rivet spacing called out for the aileron tip where it mates to the front of the skin. Nothing on the plan, nothing in the instructions, not even a detail picture of the thing on the photo CD.

I marked the standard 10mm from the edge line.

I've included a picture...

Thanks for the help,
Steve

I just looked at one of my completed ailerons and it's A4 pitch 40, but I sure don't know if that is by the plans or just a "logical sort of interpolation" - I suspect the latter. But your picture is confusing to me 'cause it appears that the aileron end is like an equalateral triangle - is this an optical illusion of sorts or what?

Steve-  See 6-W-2.  End holes plus 2 rivets A4 pitch 20 (each end).  Tip rib A4 pitch 40. If you ever get to Mattoon, Steve, check out my hanger (14) Be glad to meet you.

I just heard from ZAC. Sebastian said they are going to be redoing
the instructions and photos for the ailerons to make this clearer.
Anyway, he said to mark the flange of the aileron tip with a rivet
10mm in from the edge at each end and then put one in the middle
unless the spacing is more than 40mm in which case it wouldn't hurt
to put two rivets between. He said their demo plane has three rivets.

Always remember.... there has never been an airplane that fell out of the sky because of the weight of a few extra rivets.
