If the mass balance is not making contact with either stop then that would indicate component binding somewhere in the control circuit. Removing the stabilators and then retest from control stick end is one diagnostic. Removing pins at the base of the cockpit control sticks and retest movement from stabilator end is another diagnostic. Remaining control circuit isolation point is at the forward control tube joint in the spar void.

But remember, the diagram is upside from what you are looking at inside the fuselage. If you happen to take the wings off, look into =C2-fuselage on the starboard side=C2-at the CS10 pitch torque tube where the CS08 aileron crank comes close to it when the control stick is hard left. On mine, I actually have a small nick in the paint on the pitch torque tube from the aileron crank c ontacts it. The port side crank comes really close when hard right but no n ick yet. Are yours coming this close? If not, something is keeping the CS05 torque tube is not rotating sufficiently.Were the two CS08 cranks parallel to each other once the cross-link rod (fig12 pg 13-9) was attached?I would next check CS02 the=C2-control stick fork for interferences.=C2-Good l uck.=C2- Mike Duane N377EAEuropa XS Conventional GearChandler, AZ Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS On Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 04:29, Area-51 wrote: > If the mass balance is contacting one stop and not the other that would ind icate something in the control circuit has slipped.
