I can't tell you how many wing boxes I have ground out because of mass balance arms made too tall, or ill fitting wing boxes. Glad you conquered the dragon.

I have now sorted out the problem. Well I say problem it was Myself that was more the problem and not the Aircraft. In the end it was simply the Aileron stop in the wings. I set up exactly as you have described. When I rigged the wings, both Ailerons where in exactly neutral. All looking good. Checking the deflection with the stick the STBD Aileron mass balance was hitting the wing surface on the down movement. This is what I was doing wrong I was altering the long push rod QD in the wing root to try to correct the problem. After many attempts I discovered this does not work!!!! After your setup description, I drew the logic out on a piece of paper and thought on simple term as to why and how to correct the mass balance hitting the wing surface. ( The ailerons are going down too far) It is quite simple, Just Lengthen the Fuselage short link rod to the QD bracket to plush the Port wing stop closer to the stop, as this stops the STBD Aileron going down too far and hitting the wing skin. This took a few attempts but I got it in the end. Now Both Ailerons are slightly up instead of neutral. I correct this by small adjustments on the aileron link rod (as I had nearly 25 degrees up) Once Checked again I managed to get about 24.3 on both and 20 degrees down, these are within the limits and I'm a happy builder again One point it will make is to use a bubble inclomiter ( The warp drive propeller incloniter is perfect for the job) As far as the digital inclomiter. I fond a better use for it as my new workbench table leg. Thank you far all the PM messages too, One builder had put together a few notes, this made setup much easier. Thank you Again far every ones help -------- Richard Wheelwright G-IRPW 90% finished with that 90% to Finish Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=398912#398912 http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
