Andrew,
Builders often find this on one side - the other has a steeper angle on the
pushrod and doesnt suffer. You have the same problem if it's impacting on
the double rib.
If that's the case, just pop a 1/16" aluminium shim under the bellcrank to
raise it a touch.
Regards,
Jeremy

Subject: Europa-List: Aileron push tube travel
I just finished assembling the aileron push tubes. It seems no matter
how much I expand the rib holes, the tube always contacts the ribs when
it reaches its travel limit. This limits the max travel of the push
tube. I can expand the rib holes even further, but I was wondering what
the normal travel is for these push tubes. How many cm would you say
the tube goes left/right? I don't want to expand the holes any more
than really necessary. Thanks!
