Well, this is embarrassing. But I'm sure many of you can understand how it
happened. I was taking advantage of the long holiday weekend to make some major progress on my plane. All in all, it was a great weekend. Until today. I started working on the ailerons. I had already made the angled cuts on the ends and was laying out the rivet spacing when I realized...I had cut two RIGHT ailerons. Dang!!!! I did a quick check with ZAC and found that they want about $150 for a new skin. And if that's the price I have to pay for my mistake, well, who am I gonna blame? But then I was thinkin. This is a perfectly good right aileron skin. It's a shame to use it for scrap. I wonder if anyone out there has a 601XL wing kit that hasn't started to build the ailerons yet. And would they be willing to swap an uncut aileron skin for one that is already cut. Hmmmm? The skin is cut correctly. It's not a mistake, other than that I made two RIGHT ailerons. There are no dings or crimps in the skin and I would be happy to provide pictures to verify that. The rivet spacings are marked on the skin but have not been drilled. No other work has been done on the skin, other than cutting the end. Let me know if we can work a deal. I'd even be happy to pay for your trouble, in addition to shipping both ways.
