I’m currently reparining an S1-S that was ground looped and went over on its back. The top wing is repairable but instead I have a very nice Sparcraft upper wing ready to mount that came with the project. My question is the original lower wings have 3 hinge ailerons 5 rib bays long but the new upper has only 2 hinges and are 4 bays long. Apparently there are different aileron lengths? Anyone see a problem using the long ones on the bottom and shorter ones in the top?

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
