Mike,



You will need to enlarge the slot. 

Here is what I did.   After the ailerons are rigged, I put the stop in place

but did not fasten it down.  Push the stick to get the aileron to one stop

on the wing at the aileron.  The new  control stop will slide over as the

stick moves.  Measure how far it slid then make the slot that much wider.

Repeat for other side.

Thanks Floyd, however, I have riveted in the piece with the slot so I will need to climb up through the access hole and cut away the material.

Appreciate your feedback.   How much did you need to open up the 50mm  slot?

Mike,



I bet with your new found rivet removal skill, you can remove the rivets in

short time.



I would think it difficult to expand the slot while riveted in place but

maybe you have a plan.



On mine, the left and right extensions were different.  One was about 30 MM.



I made the stops on the wing so that the aileron would travel about .5

degree more than the new stop allows to ensure you cannot put too much

pressure on the cable.



Good luck



Floyd
