I got started this morning by adjusting all of the aileron pushrods so that both ailerons are aligned with the flaps when the sticks are perfectly vertical and I had the same number of threads showing on each end of the pushrods. I then torqued all of the jam nuts down and applied torque seal.
Next, I figured out what will work for the aileron stops. These are 1/2″ long, 5/8″ diameter spacers with a 3/16″ hole in the middle. I probably need to shorten them slightly to allow me to insert the appropriate washers to give the bearing some play.
This gives me 30.2º upward deflection (25º-32º is the recommended range).
And 16.5º downward deflection (15º-17º recommended range).
My brother and I pulled the wings off and got them covered and the plane back in the garage just as the rain started. I wasn’t able to fabricate the fuel lines, but those can happen after the wings are installed for good.
