Hi Guys,



I have just about finished installing the upgrade mods and I am just about

to do the aileron stops. I have stops on the wing at the aileron control

arm. Why do I need them in the fuse as well?



Cheers

Peter,



I believe the thinking here is to have a stop in the system prior to the loads being transmitted into the wings.  For example, if climbing into the airplane, a passenger leaned on the stick quite hard, the loads would be taken by the new stop.  This way, there would be no deformation of either the cable or wing structure which could cause cable slack.



That's my impression.  Good luck with the mods.  I am about 2/3rd's done myself.

I have dual sticks. The dual stick config is such that I hit the physical limit of max aileron input at the same time the ailerons hit their stops.

Thanks Guys,



I still have my control rod mods in place so I'll have a word with my AP

(your DAR) to see if they are still required.



Thanks

All you folks might check the total travel of your ailerons  to see if its within the limits of the drawings and adjust the stops accordingly.

I would be willing to bet most planes have more than 11.5 degrees of  deflection if you are hitting the stops.
