Hi All,  

   

While installing my ailerons I noticed drawing 4 on page 21-8 (this is the drawing that calls out the hardware used on the outboard aileron hinge) shows two normal washers and one thin washer in between the outboard aileron hinge bracket and the bearing. Looking at mine this is not enough shimming to allow the bolt to tighten the hinge bracket down onto the “bearing ball”. I had to add one more washer to the stack, to get it to chinch up. Otherwise the bolt would just turn inside the bearing hole rather than the bear doing its job.   

   

Has anyone else seen this or is this just one of those things everybody knows? I didn’t find anything in the archives.

The number of washers actually needed varies a little bit from my experience.  Watch out for spacing with the wing tip and flap (may change which side you put the washers on).

Was wondering what side would be best for the washers.  

Thanks for the reply,

The paint shop is almost complete and I installed the ailerons yesterday for the second time. 



My recommendation is put just a bolt through the outer hinge and install the inner hinge and control pushrod first. Next look at where the bearing is resting between the outer aileron hinges and estimate the number of washers needed on each side of the bearing. Mine required 2 normal washers on each side of the bearing. Note that the bearing mount will easily move laterally a bit to accomodate small changes. Its more important 

that the aileron hinge arms are not preloaded than perfectly centering the bearing between the hinge arms.



Then check for gross errors as Jesse stated.
