Hi:



My RV6a is now painted C  the elevators had to be re balance C now I am aligning the Ailerons.

  

 Iadjusted the rods C so that both ailerons are perfectly aligned with Flaps/and Wing tips.  stick C Vertical

 and center.  Al this was done...there is no play that I can feel or hear...

  

 So C on the ground everything is well....but C  when flying C I notice C ailerons are not aligned C when

 flying straight and level..there is a difference of about 1/4' C on each side...

  

 I cannot understand... I called Van's they did not understand my question C or do not know  what to do..

  

 Any suggestions C ideas?  Everything was perfect before paint...

  

 Again C  everything looks and feels C aligned...on the ground..

  

  

 thanks for comments

Maurice,

   If the misalignment is with the flaps..it's not  unusual for the flaps to position slightly higher in flight then on the ground,  due to lifting loads. Having said that, as long as the flaps/wings are  symmetrical during flight I wouldn't worry about a slight misalignment. But  that's me, I gave up on perfection while building my 6A and decided to settle  for the best I could do. As an aside, lifting loads will also remove all the  slack from the ailerons and possibly cause a slight misalignment with the wing  tip trailing edge.

  I hope this helps.
