Paul,

I don't know if you have your wings yet but if you do not have them, I
advise that you put the ailerons to one side and wait until you have
installed the wing boxes, then fit the weights accordingly using dummy
templates initially. My experience has been that the instructions as per
the manual would have resulted in weights which might have fitted at
zero deflection but which would give substantial interference at the
required down deflection. I don't know why that is, I seem to remember a
suggestion that the instructions are a hangover from the Classic Europa.
Also, by leaving the job until the boxes are on, you can ensure a
precise fit in the plan view.
Happy building.

Cheers, John, A099
