Oct 23, 2023 5.0 Flaperon rigging Category: Wings
Five hours on flaperon rigging and STILL not done. After several issues with trying to hold stick in neutral position with Gorilla tape while doing initial adjustments for flaperon rigging, I finally gave up when heat caused gorilla tape to let go. After several issues trying to install the flaperon actuators rods, I discovered there is a right and a left. Of course I had them bassacward.....one seemed too long and the other seemed too short. Thought my other actuators were misaligned. Just now switch tubes....getting hot and I'm dehydrated....again.
Before stopping this job, I removed main flaperon push rod running under my seat due to significant rubbing on floor stringer. Have to file off the powder coat and a little metal to get adequate clearance.
