| Subject: | Aileron pushrod clearance |
--> RV9-List message posted by: Gerry Filby <gerf@gerf.com>
Wrapping up the last parts of the wings ... installed the
aileron pushrods and bellcrank. Disapointed to see that the
steel pushrod fouls the edge of the openning in the rear spar
at both limits of aileron movement. The max deflection of the
aileron is within the limits set in the construction manual
(Section 15) but you can alread see that the powder coat on the
pushrod is being marred. Also, at max up deflection one of the
rivet heads that secure the rod end "catches" on the edge of
the opening - this worries me - I see potential for a jammed
flight control.
Its hard to see how this cannot have been a problem in every
kit since there's not much latitude for positioning given that
all the holes are prepunched.
Anyone else have these issues ?

Gerry: You must be right. I had this problem on Kit #90062. I opened the
hole in the rear spar up a little. It's far enough out on the wing that
stress should be pretty low. Dick Jones

I had mine welded to avoid this problem. $20 at a local weld shop.

Gerry,
Everyone has these issues. Some have worked around the rivet catching by
having the rod-ends welded on instead of riveted on. Enlarge the hole with
a file until you remove enough material so that the push-rod doesn't
interfere in any way.
