Looks great, both designs are really cool and we will definitely want to save both designs in case we want to implement them in the future
For now, the overlap design is preferred as its simpler and easier to manufacture → weight is also a big benefit
Some changes that need to be made:
The aileron itself will need to wrapped in MonoKote so the design will need to be adjusted to allow for that
As it is right now, we would have to wrap each individual section from one rib to another
One method I thought of: Make the aileron one entire piece and connect it to the wing at only the left and right most ribs using the (ie. disconnect from the end of each “main” rib, look at image below)
Putting some extra work into making the manufacturing of the ailerons as easy as possible will be helpful later on
Servo placement and linkage that connects to the to the horn
The mount for the servo would most likely be 3d printed for weight savings
Most likely placed on the spar but I’ll let you decide on exactly how/where

updated the overlap design so that the aileron only attaches on the sides
this design iteration will allow the wing and the aileron to be properly wrapped in the MonoKote
