Aileron and Flap Work

We sanded the wood cap strips on each of the ailerons and flaps so that there is a "nice" transition between the cap strips and the fiberglass leading edge.  We used various methods to get the "nice" transition, sanding blocks, orbital sander, and Dremel multi-tool.  Once we had the transition correct we started working on opening the area around the hinges and control attach points.  We cut most of the material away using the Dremel multi-tool and then finished using files.  We got 3 of the 4 parts completed before stopping. Hours: 3
