6.4 ADJUSTMENTS OF CONTROLS
With firmly blocked ailerons and elevator, the clearance (measured on the top of the control
stick) must not exceed the following values:
•
+-10 mm for the ailerons
•
+-10 mm for the elevator.
If any excessive clearance is found in the controls, the cause has to be identified and the
bearings have to be substituted or the problem consulted with the manufacturer. The natural
flexibility of the stick cannot be considered as a clearance.
There should not be any clearance of the rudder if the tension in the cables is correct.
However, the pedals can have certain side clearance, necessary for their free adjustment.
6.5 FIT OF WING MOUNTING BRACKETS
The increased clearance in the wing fittings is mostly caused due to an excessive wear of the
connection pins and of the fittings. If the back and forward movement of the wings exceeds
10 mm (measured at the wing tips), it is necessary to replace the connection pins with bigger
ones and their holes reamed out to fit the larger pins. However, the natural flexibility of the
wing cannot be considered as a clearance.
