My Aileron torque tube rubs on the W-1013 which is the braket that is riveted to the rear wing spar that holds the Aileron on. Only in the downward position. Anyone else had that problem?

Does it hit on the shop head of a rivet or on the actual shaft? If on the rivet, you could try flipping it over to see if the mfg head would provide better clearance. I may have seen this, but I think the problem went away when the controls were rigged.

Do you have both Aileron's on, and have verified full travel with both? They act as stops for each other and it might be rubbing now, and not when both are hooked up. Once you have both hooked up, you can relieve some of the distance with a file, just be careful not to scratch the paint...ask me how I know that painting and saving the finish is way too hard.

I noticed the same interference after completing my wings. Van’s suggested adjusting the number and thicknesses of the washers between the two sides of the hinge, the inboard and outboard hinges and /or the torque tube rod end to shift the aileron and torque tube away from the W-1013. While making sure not to create any other interference.
The other challenge I had was the washers called out in section 21 did not capture the hinge pivot points and allowed the bolt to rotate inside the bearing ball. They said add more washers as needed. These suggestions seemed to help but I won’t know if this solves the problems until I get the wings installed and ailerons fully rigged.

We had the same problem with our QB wings. What we noticed was that the aileron attach brackets on one wing in particular were not square to the rear spar. After we squared them up, the clearance was OK.
