Wings


Ailerons Adjusted to Neutral, Flap Installed  ( 3 hrs )

Sect 23 -10 completed. Adjusted LH Aileron 1st using W730 jig (template) at Bellcrank and W00026 Alignment Template at end of Aileron.  One turn of rod end on Pushrod CS00013 only needed.   Measured 64.5mm vs 64.3mm spec'd at Torq Tube neutral position. Pending receipt of Van's W730 actual template for final confirmation, but within 0.2mm (.007") is quite accurate -within 1/2 turn of rod ends.   Repeated for RH Wing with 1 turn of Aileron Pushrod, and 1/2 turn to main Pushrod.  Measuring 64.3mm and neutral at Bellcrank and Aileron with templates installed.   Not torquing AN3 bolts/locknuts since will remove Ailerons and Pushrods when I rivet bottom skins. Very satisfying for the smooth and easy movements of the Ailerons.
