----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Mary & Steve,
A straightforward way to troubleshoot the problem is to disconnect the offending aileron at the "mixer" bellcrank under the rear floor. You can then readily tell whether the "crick" in the system is in the wing or the cabin. There are quite a few places where there could be a hang-up. A rod-end joint that has been turned before tightening the lock nut, a bad (cracked) bushing, a too tight chain are all possible causes. The last person to work on the control system could have used the wrong size hardware somewhere and it is rubbing. On Alons (and I guess M-10's) there are ersatz seals in the wing roots that could deteriorate and get jammed. You kinda hafta open up the floor and touch, watch, and feel while experiencing the problem - something will jump when it jams. [I had a similar feeling with a too-tight chain after rebuilding the control column bushings.] Until you find out what is wrong, I would consider this a no-fly situation, because it could get suddenly worse if it is a chain or hardware problem and permanently jam the system, resulting in loss of control.
