Craig,
 I noticed tonight that my email from my shop to you has not posted yet.
It may have gone to your personal address.  I have attached some further 
clarification on rigging and trimming in that post.

I personally use clay to determine my Tufnol Euro 8 pad thickness.  To 
do this simply put a thin layer of clay on your fuselage Quick 
Disconnects.  Lightly oil the wing bell crank to keep the clay from 
sticking after disassembly.  Simply rig the aircraft and then move the 
aileron a 1/4 inch or so then disassembly.

Use an inexpensive caliper or machinist rule with a slide to determine 
the thickness of spacer you require.  You don't want to have the QDs 
hard pressed against one another but just touching.  Then just install 
your Euro 8 to the thickness measured off the clay.  A caliper when 
opened has a small metal depth gauge which makes it easy to measure your 
thickness, a machinist rule works well also.  I carry varying 
thicknesses of phenolic in my shop as one size does not fit all 
situations. 

Regards,
Bud Yerly

  I have been putting off bonding the tufnol eur08 onto the bell cranks 
cs15,
  mainly because I
  Have to take the plane outside to rig the wings, I was just wondering 
if
  there are any traps
  I should be aware of, aside from gluing the whole thing together and 
not
  being about to get
  The wings back off.

  Regards
