=0A =0A=0A=0A =0AHello Ferg,=0A-=0AI suspect the problem is most likely i
n one or both =0Aof the aileron quick connect mechanisms but before checkin
g them =0Afirstly-ensure ALL rod end fittings and =0Aassociated bolts wit
hin the whole aileron circuit are properly tightened.- =0AAlso check that
one of the tufnol pads on the quick connects has not come =0Aadrift.=0A-
=0AAssuming everything aforementioned is tight and/or =0Ain place, get a he
lper to hold the control stick progressively in the full left, =0Acentre an
d full right positions while you check the free movement of one aileron =0A
at a time in all of those positions.- If you find the free movement varie
s =0Awhen in each of those positions, the problem will likely be one of mis
alignment =0Aof the bolts on which the quick connects pivot.- Check the o
ther aileron in =0Athe same manner.=0AIf you once had no free play as you d
escribe but do =0Anow, I suspect there might have been a collision in a qui
ck connect =0Amechanism-during the rigging or de-rigging of the wings at
some =0Atime.=0A-=0AIf the problem-IS found to be one of =0Amisalignmen
t of the quick connect pivot bolts, we will have to discuss a method =0Afor
fixing this later.=0A-=0AHope this is of some help mate.=0A-=0ACheers

>Subject: Europa-List: aileron SLOP=0A>=0A>=0A>It appears that over the ye
ars the dimensions of the aileron control system have changed, and I now h
ave about 3/4inch (19mm) or less travel slop between the ailerons - not a
good thing. From the wing bottom windows, it appears to be inboard of the
fuselage as there is no slop in the outer wing areas that I could find.=0A
>----------- I would appreciate any advice as to how
to adjust same to cancel this motion. I realise someone has probably alre
ady covered this ground, but am jiggered if I can remember how to find it.
