I can't find instructions to put them back on. The 6-ZU-4.pdf, http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/xl-up-bldr.html, instructs that the size of the opening in the aileron stop that is put in the fuselage should be enlarged to set the aileron travel limits. That is the only aileron travel stop after the upgrade. The ones on the wing aren't there. mhubel wrote: > Could I add that something does not seem to add up. Given that the original stops are still to be used, the new parts (6-ZU-4-1 and 6-ZU-4-2) are redundant stops. The FAA and EAA guidelines say that if there are stops at a control surface, no other stop should exist in the system that restricts movement first. If we follow this rule, then the new parts will be guaranteed to do nothing. This sounds like a poor solution to a poorly thought out German rule. > > On the flip side, I have always found that the area around the hinge and the aileron connecting part 6W2-1 to be weak. It is easy to bend them by deflecting the aileron with the stick locked in place. I had already beefed up the area around the hinge more than the new plans call for and was planning to add another support to strengthen 6W2-1. -------- Louis W.
