| Subject: | Re: AA-5 Aileron Rigging |
Years ago, Bob Steward had a great fix for that.
Get the repair manual and look at it. I would have a plug make for the aileron
tube and bond it in place. Then fill the original holes. Then use a bushing
guide to pre-drill the hole one size small. Then, reem to fit.

Switch adjus
This is pretty common with the original thin skid plate. Get a new plate from
Fletcher.

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).

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..

flap torque tube. It appears that there is a bolt which passes through
the bearing inside the torque tube, could that be tightened?
