hi All,
our starboard aileron weight extends into the the airstream about an inch with
both ailreons centered on the wing, assuming our holes through the aileron torque
tube are misdrilled, what if the " factory approved fix" ?
thanks,
Cheers
Bill

This was common on the Mississippi built AG5B,s and there is a factory approved
fix. I have a copy of it somewhere, but basically involves gluing and blind riveting
an insert in your Aileron torque tube and re drilling it. I think you
may be able to get a copy off of either the AYA or Bondline web pages.
This repair should be done by someone who knows what they are doing as you could
end up with a real mess, ie replacing the entire Aileron torque tube at considerable
expense if you screw it up!

The fix is very easy. It requires an aluminum plug and re-drilling and a
bit of special LockTite glue. That is easy. Or should I scare you like
some others will?
Where are you located?

| Subject: | Questions about Aileron Rigging/Flap Down Limit Switch |
adjustment/Flap Play and "Flap striker plate?"
Hi All,
Checking our rigging during annual we have had some issues/question re
adjustments available and remedies. Our starboard aileron mass balance
weight extends into the airstream about an inch when both ailerons are
aligned with the wing training edge. Port side is recessed
appropriately. The Bondline section on rigging mentions a "factory
fix" for the issue (at this point we are assuming our aileron mass
balance hole was drilled incorrectly causing this misalignment).
What is the factory fix available?
Also our flap down position exceeds the allowable limit (limit is 47,
ours are 49 to 50 degrees), the maintenance pub mentions adjusting the
forward limit switch to correct for this, but there doesn't appear to be
any way to adjust the switch. How does one adjust the limit switch? My
only thought would be to bend the arm on the switch to make it actuate
sooner to limit the down position of the flap..
Another question is we've noticed some play in the flap torque tube
bearing. Is there any way to remove play up by tightened the bearing
without disassembling the bracket attached to the honeycomb and/or the
flap torque tube. It appears that there is a bolt which passes through
the bearing inside the torque tube, could that be tightened?
One more question concerning on what appears to be a "flap striker
plate?" attached to the wing just forward of ~ mid span on the flap,
there is a "rub" surface on the flap just beneath it, does anyone have
this part? One of ours is missing., Pics attached
Thanks for assistance,
Cheers

Make sure you are referencing neutral from a factory template made for checking
aileron rigging. Wing top trailing edges are known to be up or down from neutral.
One Tiger I owned was 7 degrees up at the trailing edge of the wing tip....

Bob Steward told me that he bent many aileron weights to make them ride neutral
even with bottom of wingtip. He said that the procedure for redrilling was not
always necessary. He also said that the factory had mis drilled several that
needed redrilled. I would recommend you take a very short flight to Valdosta
and have Loyd Montague at True Flight Aerospace fix it correctly. They are the
factory and very reasonable in cost. It's really something you'd want an experienced
Grumman mechanic to look at

It would be interesting to see what your wingtip reads on the templates
