May 5, 2007 - Aileron Alignment
Then I put the ailerons on. I moved the trailing edge of the
aileron so it was level with the angle.
Then I hung the flaps.

| I wanted to check the alignment of the ailerons and flaps so I clamped aluminum angles to the wing tips, aligned with the tooling holes. | ||||||

Then I put the ailerons on. I moved the trailing edge of the
aileron so it was level with the angle.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| The goal was to have both aileron trailing edges level with the angles when the sticks were perfectly vertical. I had to adjust one of the aileron pushrods to achieve this. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then I hung the flaps.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| And made sure the flaps were aligned with the centered ailerons. They look pretty good. I don't know there would be much I could do about it if they weren't. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| I stepped out the front door and was blinded by the bright Azalea's at the front of the house -- they are peak. | ||||||
