Jim I hope you see this reply Just over a year ago, I ran into the same problem, expressed a little differently. When hooked up by plans dimensions and parts, the aileron does not deflect the required or recommended amount of degrees. The two things I did to correct this condition were as follows: 1) I installed a spacer to bring the aileron pushrod into a straight line with the bellcrank end on the aileron, so the pushrod would actuate completely horizontal, instead of at a downward angle. This made the actuation smoother throughout the range of motion. I had sent Dan Heath pictures and he saw bent rods and mis-alignment. I believe the spacer is about ¾ of white plastic between two AN3 washers. 2) Larry Flesner sent me an email detailing how he had taken the aileron bellcrank and re-drilled the connection hole to the stick cable ½ closer to the pivot hole, (which is actually ½ further away from the fuselage) to increase the rate of deflection per amount of stick movement. After making both adjustments, I found my ailerons to be like Larrys and actually have the same sensitivity as the elevator does. True control harmony was achieved. I have 32 hours of flying like that and no complaints.
And I do get the recommended 20 degrees up and 10 degrees down now. Colin N96TA
