Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:10 am Post subject: Aileron Control Stick Travel

Could anyone please help me with the aileron travel distance?  Basically, I need to know  the control stick distance from the nuetral position to either side until it hits the aileron stops. 



 Or, another way to put it, does your control stick come close or hit the inside of the door handles at full aileron travel (with back elevator of course)?  



I know many of you probably have the Infinity grip already on but I am trying to get a rough idea until I hook up my controls.



Thanks



Joe

The best I recall, the ailerons limit the travel somewhat, so, if they 

hit the side walls now, I think that's normal.

Joe,

Mine comes close (maybe an inch) to the side. Of course it hits your lap way 

before that.



At full fwd stick mine slightly hits the panel.  My panel extends 1" below 

the stock panel.

Thanks Anh.  It was hard for me to stick my fat fingers between the door and Vans square handle.  Dave made up a prototype inside door handle from aluminum billet and we noticed the stick comes very close.  However, after sitting in the plane, you are right....the stick will hit your legs before it hits the door handle.



  Sounds like we might have to chop a little off the stick to clear the foward panel with an Infinity Stick Grip on it.

Please tell me what unusual attitude you might be in where you need to hit the stops with full forward stick???  You're not planning on taking your -10 on the airshow circuit, are you???

We put the infinity grips on the sticks so they just about touch the curved

section of the stick.  The stick has to be trimmed a fair bit to allow for

this.  This also makes a good height for resting your hand on your lap when

flying, which varies some based on the "thickness" of the driver.
