Forgive me for not answering sooner Richard.
Sun n Fun Airshow prep of three aircraft plus owner servicing left me
running like a chicken with his head cut off. Please feel free for a
rapid response to go to the Europa website and email direct.
To your problem if you haven't already figured it out:
Too much down is a simple fix, however you must do as others indicated
and pull the wing and set your wing up stops properly. I set the up
stop at 24 degrees using a simple protractor and by adjusting the short
rod.
Set your sticks to vertical and your fuselage QD belcranks to vertical.
Adjust your wing long pushrod to set that QD perpendicular to the line
between the main spar bushes.
Once both wings are set, rig the wings as in my instruction (soon to be
on the Europa website in tech tips).
Note the aileron position. If both are up or down with the stick
vertical your fuselage QDs spacers may be too tight or loose and or are
off center with the bolts in the wing and or just a bit off vertical.
Simply pull the wings and adjust the fuselage belcrank about 1/8 inch
for about 5 degrees. Don't be surprised if you adjust it the wrong way
first. We've all been there and done that.
Once the ailerons are close, check that the stops are hitting prior to
your aileron weights contacting the wing skin. As said many times, the
stop on the left wing in the up position sets the down throw on the
right wing.
Now adjust the wing lateral pushrod to get it just right.
It's a two hour job provided the wing incidence, sweep, and the like are
correct.

OK
After another full day trying to get the Ailerons set up with
failed result. It is simply, I have too much down and not enough up on
the both Ailerons. The results are
STBD
21.4 Up
22.1 Down
43.5 Total Movement
Port
23.1 Down
21.4 Up
44.5 Total
Should Be near to
22.5 Min to 25.5 Max UP
19 Min 22 Max Down
41.5 Min to 47.5 Max Total
Setup as by the book. QD?Ts in the Fuselage and the Wing root
vertical Stops at 24 degrees before wings rigged and adjustments.
On trying to correct so there is less down throw by altering the long
lateral pushrod in the wing in the opposite so it hits the stop,
stopping the opposite aileron going down too far. OK now I measured the
deflection it is now correct from its new position Not Neutral but
slightly up. Now to bring the aileron back to neutral I have to shorten
the aileron link rod. On doing so it puts the aileron back to exactly
where I started from ???? Nothing gained at all just a waste of time.
All I have to do is to get less down and more up. What am I missing
???
AirEupora I have Used Buds method a few times now and yes it works
every time for the first setup to get everything in the neutral
position. BUT still too much DOWN and not enough UP
John, I?Tm getting within the correct ratio limits as you will see
---From above. It all just wants the deflections moving up about 2 degrees.
Any suggestions will be very welcome :x
