 Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2017 11:49 pm Post subject: Aileron link rod installation |
 |
|
Hi All,
I have a Classic foam core wing and Im ready to install the aileron link rod. Im having considerable trouble working out how the aileron link rod connects to the embedded bolt on the inboard side of the ailerons.
By my reckoning, I would need to make a hole in the leading edge flange of the aileron to pass the push-rod ends through and then elongate the opening to allow for aileron movement. Am I on the right direction? What's concerning is that I cant seem to find it in the manual but Im sure it must be described somewhere.
Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
Regards
Tony

Hi Tony. If you read page 9M-3 (I'm building a mono should be the same for a trike) to the left of the second picture it tells you to remove a portion of the leading edge of the aileron.
Good luck, Frank kit #165

Tony - I have an XS wing but I imagine the aileron drive is very similar. I had to cut away the LE flange of the aileron root closeout quite a bit to allow the pushrod to connect and the aileron to rotate through its intended travel. There’s no point in just making a hole in the flange as you’ll find when you come to hinge the ailerons to the wings. There has to be room to slide the rod-end off the bolt embedded in the aileron. On my wings it’s a fiddle to manage that because the aileron mass-balance horns don’t allow the aileron to move sideways, and the pushrod can’t move much in the other direction.
I thought I had a picture of how I’d trimmed back the flange but the best I can find is at:

Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your help. It appears I need to cut an opening in the front flange of the aileron. Thanks Kingsley for your photo...
Regards,
Tony
