I've been working on my aileron and flap rigging the past couple of days. I'm still
not finished, but I thought I would solicit some opinions on the best methods
to finish the rigging.
Here's my data:
Aileron Up Down
Max Travel 32 17
Min Travel 25 15
Right 29.7 17.3
Left 28.7 16.9
Flaps are up and flush with the bottom of the fuselage. Ailerons are flush with
the flaps in the neutral position. There is about a .4 degree variance between
the two flaps. I'm slightly over the limits on the right aileron at the moment.
While the trailing edge of the left flap and aileron are flush, I still
have the right aileron about 1/8" shorter than the flap trailing edge.
My question is how far to chase these specs down? Clearly have have to get them
within the published specs, but what's the impact if they are within specs but
may not be symmetrical? I'm guessing that the roll rate may be slightly different
depending on the direction of turn.
On the trailing edge differences, I guess the best method is to disconnect the
flap and see what angle do they match.
Any tips on getting these rigged a little closer together would be appreciated.
thanks,
bob

Another thing you will notice is that if the control stick is full forward vs full
back, the ailerons will move some. I aligned mine at neutral elevator.

I chased the aileron alignment on my plane and found that it changes as the temperature
changes. I clamped one aileron to the flap and noticed the other aileron
would vary about 1/8" at the tip over temperature, so I left it at that.

recognize also that the flaps are reflexed so clamping one side and aligning
the other is counter productive. Flaps need to be set in trail for the
procedure to work.

The position of the flaps didn't matter for this- I'm saying that the aileron position
would change just from the temperature changing. One day I'd set the ailerons
and clamp one side to the flap and note the position of the other aileron.
The next day, at a different temperature (+- 10), the aileron would be in
a different position....
