Gentlemen thanks for your contributions
I do have more than the full movement required without the wings rigged
leading me to identify the control system as the prime suspect.
I shall re-start the process from scratch next weekend (very annoying how
work interferes with building)
- I do actually have a smart tool but it's a long one which is too
unwieldy for the ailerons so I will acquire a short one
- Reducing the up throw by one degree per bud's instructions
- Adjust the wing QD to 90 deg
- level everything and check that the fuselage end is all correct
- control columns vertical and parallel
- centre the ailerons and ensure that the QDs are vertical (using my
newly acquired short smart tool)
- And then if that doesn't solve it start playing around with the
fuselage link rods - where I now suspect the culprit lies.
- I think on reflection that I haven't followed the process carefully
enough so ....I am going to do it again...
thanks Will
