Default R bellcrank on left wing
If I'm reading the plans right, it looks like the wd-421-R bellcrank goes on the left wing. Seems inconsistent part-naming; just want to be sure I'm not misinterpreting...

R-goes on the left. L-goes on the right. Only on the 9's, the 7's are normal.

Yeah Weird... I must confess to having scratched my head over an hour on this when I was there. Kept checking and re-checking the drawing.

Default Aileron deflection and bellcranks...
The RV-9A ailerons are hinged below the aft spar of the wing. The pushrod linkage connects to the top side of the aileron steel bracket. I have never seen the way the RV-6 aileron pushrod is connected from the bellcrank to the aileron. Is it connected on the top or bottom of the aileron? That may be why things are "illogical" as Spock would say.
