The ailerons are lined up using the tooling holes in the wing. After being sure the end of the aileron is inline, the pushrods to the aileron bellcranks can be adjusted by using the Van's supplied jig.
-
This is the right pushrod installed and tenatively adjusted. The roll servo is also temporarily installed - I need to get drilled head bolts before I can permanently install and safety the servo.
-
A shipment from Steinair arrived - they have great prices on milspec wire. They even through in a bunch of small things for free.
-
The skins get clecoed on so they can be match drilled to the skeleton.
-
The flaps need three of the center eyelets removed so the pins can be inserted and eventually safetied.
-
The flap reinforcements get match drilled to the spar.
-
Before drilling the flap hinges to the wing, I needed to carefully ensure 1/4" of clearance between the flap and the aileron. Thus the little cardboard guages. I also used dental floss stretched from the outboard tip of the aileron to ensure that the fore to back placement was correct.
