Ailerons
Check the control stick with the ailerons in 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.
The control stick should be centred left to right at this position.
Adjust the aileron cable lengths as required to centre the control stick.
Check that all rod end jam nuts are tight and mark each with
TorqueSeal
.
Check the aileron deflections
Place the aileron deflection 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 check and 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, tighten the stop bolt locknuts and mark each with
TorqueSeal
.
