Listers,
I am at the point where I am adjusting the aileron pushrods for
proper length, before I finish with the wing. It seems when I move the
aileron to the down position, I get a rubbing between the W1018 Aileron
Pushrod and the W1013 Inboard Aileron Hing Bracket. This happens on both
ailerons. I talked to Joe at Van's and asked him how much travel the
aileron does, since I might be exceeding the travel when the rubbing
starts. He said that I should have between 15° and 17° down travel. I
measured it and I have about 9° down travel when the rubbing starts. Has
anyone else run into this issue? I have checked to see if I might have
had an extra washer that is moving the pushrod over, but there is only
the one washer and the spacer on the outboard side and 1 washer on the
inboard side

Ed,
Make sure you have all the aileron spacers washers etc on first. Also make
sure the out board rib bracket is aligned perpendicular to the rear spar.
If I read your post correctly it's not rubbing on the opening on the rear
spar but on the hinge bracket itself? Is it the pushrod or the rivets? You
may have to re clock the push rod so the manufac. Head is next to the
bracket/hinge. At full travel I know the pushrod gets close to touching but
not quite. 9 degrees is not much down, and granted there is not that much
down aileron due to the differential throw. Are you using the metal angle
template to establish neutral or do you have the flap installed to compare
it? Double check your pushrod length and remember the stop for the down
throw is on the opposite aileron and only comes into play when the wings are
attached and the aircraft is rigged correctly. Just some thoughts.

yep, I had the same problem.
This is actually common, here is a response from a while back when this came
up.
Many times answered before....when both wings are on the aileron stop does
not allow the aileron to deflect far enough to hit the bracket...really,
trust us...this question always comes up when someone reaches the point in
the wings where they test the aileron actuation for the first time....don't
feel bad, your not the first..I think I was, and you won't be the last.
