Post-Paint>Wings>Connect ailerons
Objectives of this task:
To connect the aileron cables and set the aileron deflections. One person can do this task but it
is much easier with 2 people: one to position the ailerons and one to make the adjustments.
Fit the outer cables
Feed each aileron cable through the same
side bracket in the seat back: the left-hand
cable though the left-hand bracket and the
right-hand cable through the right-hand
bracket.
Fit the groove in the outer cable into the
shaped hole and push the cable forward so
that the cable seats into the bracket, then
fit the retaining wedge pin in behind the
cable, push the wedge pin firmly down
and secure it in the bracket with the
retaining spring clip as shown at right.
Set the ailerons to the neutral position
Set the ailerons to the neutral position: a straightedge held under the wing must touch the
front and back of the wing and the back of the aileron as shown arrowed in the photo above.
Keep the straightedge handy – this setting will need rechecking several times.
