[NSRCA-discussion] Aileron lead holes

[brian young]

I used the brass tube on a 35%, just made a simple fixture to guide the tubing. Made a 2x4 into a V-block and rested everything on a flat table, takes some of the luck out of it. Hit the outboard servo pocket using this.
   
  Saw a guy  just bend some copper wire into a ring with two long ends that he stuck into a trigger operated soldering iron and just melted his way through. Not as pretty as the brass, and still there was that luck thing involved. 
   
  I was thinking you might try the Clint Eastwood method, 44 Magnum pointed at the servo opening and say "Do You Feel Lucky?" ....probably not accurate at all but it might be fun.

It's not been luck Verne, it's nothing more than your phenomenal skill!!

Looking for something easier and more accurate. The tubing has worked okay
in the past but I always felt kinda lucky about it.

Verne,

Why the need to change? Been doing them with a brass tube for 15-20 years
without a hitch.

Vern, I cut a 1/2" w by 3/8"d trough in the top of the wing but stop about
2" from the wing root. I then angle a hole from the middle of the airfoil to
the trough.

I'm looking for alternate ways to bore the aileron lead hole in a foam wing
core. In the past, I've done it with 1/2" sharpened brass tubing. Anybody
got a better way?

Thanks,
Verne
