 Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 9:22 am Post subject: Question re: flaperon jig |
 |
|
I have some pages in my old Denney assembly manual that show a jig of
some sort clamping the flaperons for alignment purposes. They appear as
blocks with the flaperons profile inside the clamping area. If these
appear in later manuals are there any directions as to material etc. or
how to make these? The old manuals are short on guidance in many areas
and this is one. I'll make them from soft balsa or foam if nobody has
any better idea.

Dave,
I made them from pine, I think balsa or foam is a great idea. The aluminum
on the flaperons is fragile enouth that you will not put forces on the jigs
that would distort the balsa or foam if that is what you choose.

The jig is made so that you will have a neutral position to start from . I
made mine from a piece of oak with the aileron cut out on on end then at the
other end was a block to keep the aileron at a set angle 0 if I remember
right,It really worked out well I made no adjustments once the aircraft was
completed,If anyone is interested I will look in my manual for the exact
info needed to fabricate these alignment jigs, I have a model 5
