Wing
The airfoil is a full cantilever, two spar, laminar flow wing. It is filler finished and hand polished. The
upper and lower leading edge surfaces are covered with a surfacer to assure smoothness of the
airfoil sections. The metal-covered ailerons are statically, dynamically, and aerodynamically balanced.
The left aileron is equipped with a trim tab, controllable from the cockpit. Hydraulically operated,
sealed type wing flaps extend from the ailerons to the fuselage.
The efficiency of the wing is adversely affected by nicks, dents, and scratches on the surface.
