Default RV 7 aileron stop

Hey all-
I just wanted to add to the info here. I initially bought the 1/2" X .194 X 1/2" nylon spacers from Lowes. I trimmed them down to the proper length & installed them. Presto!!! I had 31 degrees up travel... 1 degree less than max travel for the -7. I just ordered the same spacers but in aluminum from aluminumspacers.com for final assemble down the road. here is the link.

Slight thread revival.
I was working on putting my wings away before going whole hog at the fuselage when I realized I never completed this one mod.

For those who have done the mod and are now completed and flying, what size OD on the rod did you end up using to get the correct throw for an 8? Also, did you drill the rod to 3/16" for just the bolt or 5/16" for the spacer?

Default 5/8" O.D.

I used a 5/8" O.D. spacer on my RV8, it worked perfectly:

Both ailerons up travel = 30 degrees
Both ailerons down travel = 15.5 degrees

Measured with a Digital level.

Hope this may help someone------
