Nov 16, 2023 2.0 Flaperon rigging Category: Wings
This was going to be a quick job to set flaperon movement limits on the control rod mixer. Long story short, it took two hours to set flaperons, measure angles, and finally determined that the desired flaperon angle movement needed ALL lateral control movement available. All I did was screw in limit screws to touch the control stick. and will tighten lock nut. I spent a lot of time checking angles and wondering why the flaperons drooped compared to the wing. Then I read about checking angles at different flap settings.......ooooh...seems the first measurements I took were with flaps partially deployed instead of secured. I re-did all measurements using the App on my phone and all measurements within 2.5 degrees of desired. Left and right are within 0.5 degree of each. Then left for Colorado for Thanksgiving for 10 days.
