When the ailerons were mounted, no play was noticed - not-perfect alignment of the two hinges removed the play that exists in these MS-hinges even when new. The ailerons were carefully balanced after filling and painting, as per the BM. No wear is noticed on the inner aileron hinges, nor on the rudder or trim tab hinges. We have both monitored this carefully, without discovering any increased play over the roughly 50 + hours flown since first discovering this. However, this does not rule out that wear may continue at a low rate. The outer hinge is fitted a fair distance from the tip. Even with tight outer hinge, the tip may be moved easily up or down without applying much force due to the flexibility of the aileron's structure. Could the cause of this be small vibrations in the outer, unsupported part of the aileron when activating the aileron (i.e. not streamlined aft of the wing)? Even if the outer hinges were tight, the flexibility "does not look right". I have not found any other aircraft design at my local field where the ailerons flex like this. I have now fitted an additional, third hinge on each aileron, at the tip and of the same type and length as the original outer hinge (which I have left in place). Anyone else with similar experience?
