I have a feeling that this may have been covered before - forgive me if I am going over old ground.

 

 I spent today doing the final rigging of the ailerons pending first flight.  With the elevators in the neutral position, I managed to achieve a near perfect alignment of flaps, ailerons and wingtip on both sides, with the sticks both centered and bolt upright.  I felt good.

 

 With the wing trailing edges in alignment, I moved the elevator up and down and found that both ailerons would move up more than 1/4" when the elevator TE was dropped.  Not much (if any) movement of the ailerons from neutral when the elevator TE is raised.   

 

 I don't think I have a problem, the ailerons move up only with full forward stick (not a condition I expect much) and both are deflected the same amount. Is it possible to achieve flap, aileron, tip alignment through all elevator positions?

 

 cheers,

 Ron

Sounds like you did a good job.  No, it's not possible

to keep them all aligned throughout the entire elevator

throw.

Just like Tim said.  You want them even with the flaps when the elevator is neutral.  Because of the way the sticks are connected both to the elevator and ailerons, the angle changes on the aileron pushrods going from the sticks to the wingroot when the stick is moved fore and aft, pulling the ailerons up when at either side of neutral elevator.  You did it just right.
