Tests showed the effect of the ailerons and the tip shapes on the general performance of the wing, as well as on the lateral control and stability characteristics. The hinge moments were not measured but the approximate values are given in the first report of the series.
Tests were made with ordinary flap-type ailerons on two wings with different amounts of taper, one medium and the other extreme. On each wing both medium sized tapered ailerons and short wide tapered ailerons were tested.
