Figure 27-7: Overview - aileron control rods
The bearings in the bell cranks are sealed ball bearings.
Each aileron is attached to five hinge points with one metal rod.
To prevent flutter, each aileron has a balancing mass in its leading edge.
To decrease the pilot’s control forces, the ailerons have spades. The spade arms are
connected to the center hinge ribs of the ailerons.
Travel stops on the fuselage structure near the torque tube keep the aileron travel in the
specified limits. Refer to chapter 27-00-02 for the exchange of the aileron travel stops.
Before you adjust the control system, examine the control rods, bell crank levers and hinges
for wear and damage.
Make sure that the control rods length is correct. Adjust the length, if necessary. Refer to
chapter 27-00-03
