It works fine so far and I just used a generic "heavy duty" die spring of the dimensions listed. They needed a little shimming but work great.

In the meantime, if anyone wants them now, email me (direct, not to the list please) and I'll send them. And thanks Bob!

Does anybody have a recommended aileron throw in degrees? I know I have seen some small blocks glued to the floor under the aileron torque tube bell crank but the placement and height of the blocks would give different throw limits.

Heard that my DAR wanted stops on the ailerons, so put in blocks with a pad of leather on each for the antique look. Just made them hit the block JUST before aileron came down and hit back of wing to completely close the gap. DAR liked it. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gadd, Skip" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aileron up-down throw > Got a request from Piet builder PF Beck off list. > Does anybody have a recommended aileron throw in degrees? > I know I have seen some small blocks glued to the floor under the aileron > torque tube bell crank but the placement and height of the blocks would give > different throw limits. > Skip > Sender: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com > Precedence: bulk > Reply-To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com > > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Gadd, Skip" > > ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:55:38 PM PST US From: Jim Markle Subject: Pietenpol-List: Landing Gear Jig & Spring pics posted --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Jim Markle to: if that link doesn't work (mine usually don't!), just go to mykitplane.com and select Photo Gallery and click on my name..... enjoy, Jim in Plano
