To TR-4 builders
The specifications for the ailerons indicates control movement of +12 & -12 degrees
of movement. I just mounted both ailerons and calculated approx +7 & -11
degrees with slightly higher on right wing. Both ailerons have the counter weight
hitting before reaching the desired 12 degrees.
Can some of you check your numbers and are getting the 12 degrees both directions.
Did you fully balance both ailerons?

Many builders remove the inner skin in the local area to give the counterweight
(and aileron) a little more movement.
Some also reshape the counterweight so that there is more movement before it hits.

Monumental Brain Fart!!!
Can I blame it all on the 100 degree heat?
Visually I kept looking at the up vs down movement and they looked like I had more
than enough upward travel. Well I was not seeing things but was using a smart
level that was a lot smarter than it's user. I had failed to add in the difference
between the neutral position and zero degrees. I was calculating the
difference. It turns out that my actual number would give a 11.4 degree minimum
on down with more on up. Will that be enough travel?

I always thought the aileron travel was woefully inadequate.

I'll have to dig thru my builders notes next time I'm at the hangar to see
what I noted but I'm not having any problem with aileron effectiveness. This
plane is not a fighter just a nice cruiser.
