Aileron rigging

Finally got around to rigging the ailerons.  This was complicated somewhat in that I lost one of the pushrods during the move (I think...).

But everything worked out really good, except the aileron counterweights need a bend to achieve down sufficient down aileron clearance.  Easy job.

Getting the jam nuts tightened is a challenge on the wing side.  So little room and I have big hands.  Trying to make a tool to help this this.  My friend found some wrenches and he got one side tightened up.

Had to bend the counterweights.  Done, no contact with the wingtips.

Achieved 22.5 degrees up, and 17.5 degrees down.
