Hartmut,
Thank you. Yes, that does help, but how do you know where to set the stops? Is that where the 1 1/2 inches down (from the walkway edge to the edge of the aileron) figures in?

But the manual says the 150 degrees are a max value. It does not need to be achieved. I found that more important are the stops on the control column, so you don't ruin the cables plus the evenness of the travel distribution. You adjust that by making sure that the aileron bellcranks on the outboard rib of the center section are exactly 7 11/16 inches away. After I nailed that number on both side while everything else was centered, I finally had a similar movement (up /down) on the ailerons.

I am having problems interpreting the service manual in regards to rigging the ailerons. I have followed the intructions in the manual up to the point of rigging the aielrons. At the point that I measure the up and down travel of the ailerons is where things become unravelled. At 150 degrees of travel for the yoke, I can only get an upward deflection of the ailerons at about 33 degrees ( the book calls for 50 degrees). Is that reading just to see if the chain is set correctly? I cannot imagine needing to turn the yoke 150 degrees in flight. The manual talks about measuring the distance trom the endrib to the aileron as one and one half inches. If I set the stops at that point, my up deflection is approx. 20 degrees and the down deflection is 9 degrees ( I believe the book calls for 20 and 10). Am I OK there? How do I set this damn rigging? any advise is appreciated. Fred
