Hello fellow Zenith Listers,
=C2-
Quick question am I missing something in the "B" modification instructions,
because I can't seem to recall any mention of what the proper aileron deflec
tion measurements need to be? =C2-Are there new ones or do I stick with th
e old? =C2-
=C2-
Also, regarding of aileron control inputs what should I expect =C2-in term
s of control feel as of right now the modified set-up seems to be quite a bi
t stiffer and in need of stronger control inputs: =C2-My control harmony b
efore the mods seemed just right or I guess I was used to it. =C2-Anyways
a penny for anyones's knowledgeable and erudite thoughts.

Hi Jeff,
My take on the aileron question is that they should not have changed at
all. The rear rib (7?) that mounts the aileron bellcrank has been
reinforced considerably and the hole in the rear channel has also gained
a doubler. Neither of these structure changes should have an impact on
the control stiffness or feedback. I don't think the aileron
deflections changed either.
The ailerons were mass balanced. I suppose this could make them a
little bit easier to move, but I doubt a pilot could detect this from
the cockpit. The ailerons are so huge for this design there is little
movement of the stick in the roll direction and easing the task of
moving the ailerons with balance bars shouldn't have any impact on the
aerodynamic forces that ruled this issue before.

Just finishing up the upgrade. today I installed the last rivets while
reinstalling the center section (spar carry through) in the fuselage.

Hi Jeff--
I've got about 75 hours on the upgrade. The aileron throw is set to the
same as the original. The balanced aileron control inputs do appear to feel
a bit stiffer=2C however=2C you will adjust to it very easily. The entire
feel of the plane is stiffer and more solid.

Hello fellow Zenith Listers=2C
Quick question am I missing something in the "B" modification instructions
=2C because I can't seem to recall any mention of what the proper aileron d
eflection measurements need to be? Are there new ones or do I stick with t
he old?
Also=2C regarding of aileron control inputs what should I expect in terms
of control feel as of right now the modified set-up seems to be quite a bit
stiffer and in need of stronger control inputs: My control harmony before
the mods seemed just right or I guess I was used to it. Anyways a penny f
or anyones's knowledgeable and erudite thoughts.

Jeff, my B model ailerons control and movement are a bit "thicker" and I wa
s surprised because after mass balancing you would think that they should m
ove easier, but they don't. Course my input is substantial because I have p
ushrods as opposed to cable. It is the best way to move the ailerons. Bill

Also, regarding of aileron control inputs what should I expect in terms of
control feel as of right now the modified set-up seems to be quite a bit s
tiffer and in need of stronger control inputs: My control harmony before t
he mods seemed just right or I guess I was used to it. Anyways a penny for
