[NSRCA-discussion] Aileron lead holes

[Dennis Bodary]

Mike you are really missing out. Personally i sheet the wing then make a jig and just before i get to the servo pocket out the wing sheeting i go. No problem it is the bottom of the wing no biggy. Just adjust the angle and do the other wing this way just before the servo pocket it comes out the sheeting. except this time it comes out the top sheeting. 
   
  Now mind you this works even nicer if you have the wing all finished sanded and ready for monokote. 
   
  Oh and the next time i cut aileron sevo holes i need to buy a new brass tube. why you ask? because i gave the one that put holes in my wing sheeting a toss about 200 mph around the basement. much nicer and less painful than beating my head against the wall for being so stupid well okay maybe not that but painfully brilliant. Yeah that's it

  Verne, I agree with Mark. I really wouldn't change your method. I 
personally use 3/8" brass tubing. I bore the hole before I sheet the wing 
(not that it really matters). I have never missed my mark with the tube 
free hand. No need for a jig.

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
