Deburring the aileron stiffeners3h
September 7, 2024
While waiting for the situation with ribs to resolve, I switched to ailerons.
The first step was to prepare the stiffeners: trim them to size, deburr, and, eventually, prime. They come as long aluminum blanks that need to be cut to size with the snips:
The stiffeners after deburring:
The whole stack of them!
In the past, I had issues priming small parts because they tend to fly around when sprayed with the paint gun. This time I want to try some 3D-printed holders designed to keep them in place. Also, it should make it easier to spray many of them at once.
This is the design I came with, will see if it works.
