| Subject: | Re: aileron SLOP |
Hello Ferg,
I suspect the problem is most likely in one or both of the aileron quick
connect mechanisms but before checking them firstly ensure ALL rod end
fittings and associated bolts within the whole aileron circuit are
properly tightened. Also check that one of the tufnol pads on the quick
connects has not come adrift.
Assuming everything aforementioned is tight and/or in place, get a
helper to hold the control stick progressively in the full left, centre
and full right positions while you check the free movement of one
aileron at a time in all of those positions. If you find the free
movement varies when in each of those positions, the problem will likely
be one of misalignment of the bolts on which the quick connects pivot.
Check the other aileron in the same manner.
If you once had no free play as you describe but do now, I suspect there
might have been a collision in a quick connect mechanism during the
rigging or de-rigging of the wings at some time.
If the problem IS found to be one of misalignment of the quick connect
pivot bolts, we will have to discuss a method for fixing this later.
Hope this is of some help mate.
Cheers from your antipodean cousin
Kingsley

Subject: Europa-List: aileron SLOP
It appears that over the years the dimensions of the aileron control
system have changed, and I now have about 3/4inch (19mm) or less travel
slop between the ailerons - not a good thing. From the wing bottom
windows, it appears to be inboard of the fuselage as there is no slop in
the outer wing areas that I could find.
I would appreciate any advice as to how to adjust same to
cancel this motion. I realise someone has probably already covered this
ground, but am jiggered if I can remember how to find it.
Cheers, Ferg

She Fly's !!!
On the 24th July 2013 at 16:17 Local Time G-IRPW finally lifted her wheels from
the surface of Wombleton Air Field in Yorkshire, UK. First flight was carried
out by Very professional Pilot Ivan Shaw. Ivan's first report on landing is,
"She fly's beautifully with no problems, balanced well and flight straight
and level"
There are a few miner tweets required but nothing major required.
The Build was started on 20th December 2005. Total build time 7 years 7 Months
4 days and counting. Total hours 1800 Approx.
I would like to to take this opportunity to say thank you to all who have given
their support over the years.
First, my Wife, Adele.

become very cloudy or is that the brain is in the clouds?

Hi! Richard
I somehow must start reading messages like the Chinese, bottom up .
I just congratulated Mike Davies so probably he had a hand in it but I
didn't intend to steel your show...for G-IRPW Good show. And now take care ,
my mentor advised to always "keep scared "!
