Bud
Thank you for your very Knowledgeable reply. I have now sorted out the
problem.
Well I say problem it was Myself that was more the problem and not the Aircraft.
In the end it was simply the Aileron stop in the wings. I set up exactly as you
have described. When I rigged the wings, both Ailerons where in exactly neutral.
All looking good.
Checking the deflection with the stick the STBD Aileron mass balance was
hitting
the wing surface on the down movement.
This is what I was doing wrong I was altering the long push rod QD in the wing
root to try to correct the problem. After many attempts I discovered this does
not work!!!!
After your setup description, I drew the logic out on a piece of paper and
thought
on simple term as to why and how to correct the mass balance hitting the
wing surface. ( The ailerons are going down too far) It is quite simple, Just
Lengthen the Fuselage short link rod to the QD bracket to plush the Port wing
stop closer to the stop, as this stops the STBD Aileron going down too far and
hitting the wing skin. This took a few attempts but I got it in the end.
Now Both Ailerons are slightly up instead of neutral. I correct this by small
adjustments on the aileron link rod (as I had nearly 25 degrees up) Once Checked
again I managed to get about 24.3 on both and 20 degrees down, these are within
the limits and I'm a happy builder again
One point it will make is to use a bubble inclomiter ( The warp drive propeller
incloniter is perfect for the job) As far as the digital inclomiter. I fond
a better use for it as my new workbench table leg.
Thank you far all the PM messages too, One builder had put together a few
notes,
this made setup much easier.
Thank you Again far every ones help
