Frans-
You talk about shortening the link rod. I don't think that is what you mean.
You should have about 3/4 inch of adjustment on each end of the rod by screwing
or unscrewing the rod end from the AN490HT8P. I just did mine a couple of
months
ago and the limiting factor for me was the skin, which had to be carefully
trimmed to permit the correct movement, but as far as the mechanism is
concerned,
you should be able to adjust it quite easily. You also mention .7 too
much. You really need to use a bubble inclinometer to set them up. If you are
using the measurement to the wingtip, it can be off based on how far the aileron
end is from it. I don't know what is available there, but I picked up a
very easy to use inclinometer at Home Depot here in the US and it made measuring
the amount of travel a snap.
