Netters,
It seems that my bellcranks may have been made alittle shy of the required
deflection. It seems that the right wing moves down acceptably, but does not
move up to the correct angle of deflection. I am wondering if this can be
corrected at the bellcrank by slightly increasing the amount of movement by
locating an additional hole for a new pivot hole in the same bellcrank, or
whether I should remake this one bellcrank over? I am prepared to re-drill
both bellcranks and re-mount, then install a movement limit at the stick to
prevent forcing the aileron past its mechanical limits. 2 Things: 1) I am
concerned with having over the stated amount of deflection possible, as long as
I can achieve the design amount; 2) I presently have un-equal amounts of
deflection favoring the left side in the up position. I have checked all areas
and there is no binding, it is related to the bellcrank, setup geometry. Not
having plans to compare to, I have no reference to relate what should have been
done to what has been done.
On a good note: taxi tested some more today and found the gear to track
straight and true, the brakes work great and she is LOTS of fun to taxi!!!!!!!
I can park her on a dime with the full swivel free castoring pneumatic
tailwheel. Bev was with me and boy is she BIT!!!!! I am in trouble
now.......... She is ready to fly!
