 Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2016 6:21 pm Post subject: FIREFLY FLAPERONS |
 |
|
Kolbers ran into another problem building my FIREFLY today, built the push pull shaft for the flaperons and when I went to hook them up they were the right length and the ends fit but not at the same time the control handle is bolted to the cockpit frame tapering towards the nose and the shaft runs back to the sliding flaperon control they are about thirty degrees out of alignment! I could bend the control handle as its just a piece of 3/32s steel but that doesnt seem like it would be right ? Anybody know what I should do or what I might have done wrong? I hope you understand my description thank for reading it . Chris

depends on what you mean by they?   Ailerons seem to be the only thing that could be out of alignment with the way the mechanism works.. the only other "they" would be the two brackets that hinge on the boom tube through bolt.. and attach to the tube that slides on the aileron torque tube?Â
 Probably need a better description? What is "They".  Herb
