Ralph, I would have thought that your mechanic would have know to look at the Type Certificate Data Sheet for you aircaft to get the control surface travels. At any rate, attached is a copy of TCDS A-787 which is applicable to the A-2's. -----Original Message----- From: RalphorMaria Finch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 9:50 AM To: Ercoupe Technical Discussion Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Re: Aileron Bellcrank setup ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I just talked to my mechanic to clarify what he wants. He simply would like a diagram, or at least the factory specs, of the designed aileron travel values: differential travels, rod lengths, and so on. He doesn't trust completely the way it was discovered when we pulled the wings, not that anything was obviously wrong, but in a 38-year-old plane, with the wings known to be not original (with the fuselage), and no log entry of that switcheroo, well, you can't trust anything in these old planes. So he simply would like a real service manual spec sheet for the factory-designed aileron setup, not the mickey-mouse toy service manual which we all seem to have. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
