So I installed the Flaps, Ailerons, and all associated push pull tubes & bellcranks before rigging the Ailerons IAW the manual and Jigs. The left aileron rigged precisely with both the outer edge W-00026 Jig seen here,
and the bellcrank W-730 jig seen here.
Once rigged the Aileron trailing edge lined up precisely with the Flap trailing edge that is sitting metal to metal on the rear wing spar as seen here.
Sounds perfect, looks good. After rigging the right wing in precisely the same manner (W-00026 jig and W-730 jig set just right), the Right Aileron trailing edge sits about 1/4" high from the flap trailing edge as seen here.
Since the flap trailing edge can't be raised (metal to metal contact) and Van's support is unavailable until Monday, what should be my next step to rig the right Aileron?
I could easily align the Aileron trailing edge with the Flap trailing edge, but then the exterior wing W-00026 jig will not align. I am tending to trust the jig, but don't believe I should have a 1/4" difference in the Aileron and Flap trailing edge. Both Ailerons and Flaps are straight as an arrow with no curve or twist (I verified with a digital level). Anyone run into this problem before. I want to make sure I get it fixed before starting the wingtips.
