When attaching the ailerons and flaps I am finding that both peices, on both wings, rub the top skin. The flaps contact just prior to the neutral position and the ailerons at about 20 degrees trailing edge down. I don't have pics handy, but I can get some if needed. Is this common, or do I get to re-work my wings? Don't want to get to far into the aileron actuation section unitl I clarify this. Thanks.

My QB wings had the same problem with the flaps slightly rubbing at
their up position. I have seen another 10 with the flaps rubbing also.

My solution was to put vans control surface tape on the flaps. My
ailerons are OK so I can't really comment about them.

Mine rub of course too. I think most will. I put the tape though on
the underside of the wing skin instead of the flap, so you don't have
the tape visible. No scratches that I'm aware of yet.

As the other post stated, using UHVM tape or something like that on the Flap
will keep it from scratching the paint. It is good to have a tight fit
there.

On the aileron, if you have not connected the two ailerons together yet,
then you probably won't have to worry, because they don't travel as much
when they are hooked up. If they are already hooked up, then you may have a
problem.

Hope this helps.
