 |
|
Dear Listers,
The construction manual on my RV-8 says to set the aileron throws to 25-32 degrees Up and 15-17 degrees Down. But can't really see how you would accurately measure that? Why doesn't it just list it in inches of throw measured at the trailing edge?
Additionally, 25 to 32 degrees is a pretty big range. What do people recommend?
Thanks!

Matt,
Borrow an electronic level (such as a Smart Level or whatever they are
called in your country). Makes it easy. I would suggest that on the
"up"side that you favour towards the upper limit and the lower limit for the
downgoing aileron.
Cheers ...... AKS

Once again, you guys really came though for me! I can't believe I didn't think about using my digital level!! Duh! As you can see from the attached pictures, taping the level right to the aileron and flap works great! The level has a "zeroing" function which worked out perfect so that I didn't have to do any math in my head (ouch). I've attached some pictures for future archive reference.
I haven't made the little aileron control stops yet. I assume that since everything seems to be rigged pretty close to perfect I can just place them such that at my current 32 degrees of Up will hit the stop? Maybe just a hair shy something like 31.5 or something?
Thanks again,
Matt Dralle
