| Today I finished connecting everything in the wing root. Only to find that in order to hang the ailerons, I 1st need to 'center' and |
|
| align the aileron linkages. This involves using a template that is supplied in the Vans kit, Fortunately I was able to find it in my |
|
| 'unused parts' box. It sounds easy enough but it involved multiple back and forth measurements and adjustments to both sides |
|
| of the control linkages in order to get the aileron bellcranks in exactly the same position on both sides AND the control sticks |
|
| centered in the coskpit. It took 3 hours just to accompllish this task. Then I began to hang the ailerons. I needed a quick trip to |
|
| Aerozona for some bushings, the painter appears to have discarded the old ones that were sent with the part to paint. I've got |
|
| both ailerons attached, However until I get the flaps and the wing tips installed Its difficult to know if they are in the right place. So |
|
| I've left the rod end adjustments loose until the flaps are installed. |
