Hi all!

I'm looking at various drawings and pictures of the MIG3 and they all show that the ailerons are split in two parts.
What is the reason for this and does anybody know how they operated?

Hi Lumbajack, Smiley
I've seen your post with a lot of delay.
There is an actioning mechanism in corresponance of the hinge between the aileron's sections.
I suppose that they were made so to avoid problems with bending or thermic dilatation.

hello,
Massimo is right- it's splited into 2 halfs in order to avoid jaming due to overload (bending) in the flight.

Hi Audrius, Smiley
I suppose you found it on the book "Istrebitel MiG-3".
Could you have a look to see if there is written something on modifies to tail plans, please? Something about the fact that larger elevators were experienced in March 1941 or introduced in late type MiG-3? I have a text of Arsenyev but it looks not 100% clear.
