I am trying to install the aileron stop in the fuselage. With everything pilot drilled and clecoed in place the top of the stop assembly rides the aileron turnbuckles slightly. In addition the assembly will interfere with re-adjusting and re-safetying the turnbuckles for future re-adjustments. Has anyone found a better way to install an aileron stop in the fuselage? How? Thanks, Chuck Maggart 601 XL w/ Jabiru FWF Kit ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:56:26 AM PST US From: "Gary Ray" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: 601 XL Upgrade Question Chuck I had a dimensional problem with one of the brackets that were supplied in the upgrade kit. I modified the height slightly with a new bracket to avoid the turnbuckles and cables. And I had to move one of the nylon fairleads to the elevator cables.

The explanation for a second aileron stop was it was meant to prevent damage to the ribs when someone kicked the stick too hard when getting in the plane. I came to the conclusion that this might be possible with dual sticks but was just ridiculous with a center stick. My plane has the center Y stick. Paul XL 20 hours into phase I testing.

I had already installed a stop around each control column/6DS3-1 (as opposed to than one that limits movement of the torque tube/6B17-4 itself.)
