aluminum disks? |
I made an aileron control lock out of two of the disks. Ease the edges first, then glue some of that non-slip shelf liner stuff to one side of each. Then, a short piece of string or a thin bungee cord between the two completes the lock. Slide the string into the gap between the aileron and the wing tip or the aileron and the flap and you have an effective, light weight aileron lock. I painted mine orange for high visibility.
I used a hole saw fitted to my drill press to cut out my instrument holes once the location was established. The radio bay was cut using a jig saw first, then finalized with a Dremel tool and a fiber cut off wheel. Taping the surface with masking tape prevents marring of the surface with the jig saw.
