I'm having a really hard time getting the travel set on my ailerons, 3 full work days and I feel like I'm just chasing my tail.
I put in a 3/4 inch "stop" around the bushing at the pushrod/aileron attach point based one some searching here on VAF. With that stop I'm at min up travel, however at 19deg down travel, that's 2deg over max! Any larger stop will take up travel below minimums.
If I rig the ailerons to the proper min travel point then they are both above the aileron neutral with the stick centered, and adding length to bring them back to neutral puts the travel back in(no matter which rod I adjust).
To measure that travel I put my digital level on the wing just in front of the aileron, zero it, then move it to the aileron and make sure it's flat.
Can someone describe how they did it and what they used for the zero/reference point?
Thanks
Aaron
