Set the aileron deflections
Once the aileron cables have been adjusted to length with the ailerons in the neutral position
and the stick centred, the full travel deflections can be set.
In the kit there is an aileron deflection template. Place this template on top of the wing and set
the aileron to the full UP travel deflection as shown in the photo above (note the 3 arrowed
points where the template touches) and then adjust the stop bolt on the aileron bellcrank so
that the bolt just touches the eccentric stop at full deflection.
The eccentric stop that you fitted in the
Post-Paint>Fuselage>Interior>Fit console controls
task can be rotated if required to give an equal length to the stop bolts.
Repeat the process for the other aileron and tighten the stop bolt locknuts.
Final check
Recheck each step:
Check that the outer cables are firmly fixed into the brackets by the wedge pins and that the
wedge pins are held by the “R” clips;
Centre the control stick and check that both ailerons are in the neutral position. Make minor
adjustments as required;
Check that the aileron stops are set correctly for full deflection: when the control stick is at
full left deflection the left aileron should touch the aileron deflection template at all 3 points
and when the control stick is at full right deflection the right aileron should touch the aileron
deflection template at all 3 points. Make minor adjustments as required;
When all of the settings are correct check all 4 rod end lock nuts (2 on each cable) and the 2
aileron stop lock nuts for tightness and mark each one with a dab of
Torqueseal
.
This completes the
Post-Paint>Wings>Connect ailerons
task.
