|
The 8 aileron hinge bracket halves are all stamped in the same direction and are identical until the recess for the bearings are cut. There is a slight bend that is created during the stamping process, and the halves are bent in the same direction. As a result, the assembled halves still have the bend. When you flip the hinges for the opposite wing, the bends are in the opposite direction. In other words, if the hinges are bent in the outboard direction on one wing, the hinges on the other wing will be bent in the inboard direction. This in turn will cause one aileron to be too far outboard and the other aileron to be too far inboard. Not only does this affect the symmetry of the two ailerons with respect to the flaps and wingtips, it also results in the aileron pushrods interfering with the rear spar in different ways. My suggestion is to straighten the hinge halves prior to assembly, as they are very difficult to straighten later.
