Now that the balance of the ailerons has been determined, before the weights are permanently attached, the torque tubes need to be attached. There is a tube embedded in the aileron that extends about 3 inches. This tube needs to be connected to the six foot long aileron torque tube. This is accomplished by joining them using a short steel tube that is inserted into the aileron tube and torque tube. It is then drilled and bolted.<\/p>\n

Drilling the hole in the torque tube and joining tube is relatively easy. A centering jig is used with a drill press.<\/p>\n

Here’s the torque tube with the joining tube bolted in place.<\/p>\n

But the hole in the aileron tube is tough. It’s not long enough to use with the jig. So it has to be done by hand.<\/p>\n

We will drill a slightly undersized hole from each side and then redrill with the correct sized bit all the way through. But first the location of the hole is marked.<\/p>\n

Marking a spot on exact opposite sides of a tube can be a bit tricky. But as usual, Malcolm’s got a trick. A simple drafting template used for drawing circles.<\/p>\n

Then the holes are drilled and bolted together.<\/p>\n
