That would work now, but with the flaps installed you have a problem. It just
is not easy.
The one good thing is when it is done, it is done ! I have not had any reason
to go back and tweak them.
Good luck

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Aileron link rod adjustment
Cliff,
I would not have thought of imbedding a nut instead of the bolt when I
was building the aileron closeouts. It is too late for me now. One
option I thought was to cut a slot in the the side-moulding near the
link rod. I only need about 5mm of extra lateral space to allow the
rod-ends to come off the bolt. Please let me know if you think this
sounds reasonable.
I tried removing the rod-end from the bellcrank via the access panel,
to check the feasibility of doing this with the wings closed. It did
not seem like a pleasant task. You would have to somehow hold the bolt
from above with a wrench while turning the nut from below, and also
hold the bellcrank from flopping around. I can easily see myself
dropping a wrench or the nut inside the wing.
