Brief Description:  Left Aileron Hinge Install & Mounting - Part 2

The aileron works great and balancing is very evident in the action. Notice that when the aileron is Up (down in the picture because the wing is currently upside down), that along the trailing edge of the wing the aileron is actually making an air-brake of sorts. This has the effect of adding yaw when the aileron is applied and minimizes the amount of rudder pedal that is needed. Pretty slick design, actually.
