Caps strips and aileron work

Several things finished up today.  First off did the cap strips on the top of the ribs.  Since the shear webs get sanded to match the top of the wing, they’re not a problem for this. Also, the top of the aileron spar seemed to be a bit short.  After some research, that seemed fairly common, so I added a cap strip to the top of it to make things work out properly.

Next the aileron is cut from the wing.

The end of the aileron is made with a few pieces of laminated balsa, and took notching the end of the forward edge so that it would fit in place.  Then the last rib is put in place on the forward edge of the aileron.
