Got a request from Piet builder PF Beck off list.Does anybody have a recommended aileron throw in degrees?I know I have seen some small blocks glued to the floor under the ailerontorque tube bell crank but the placement and height of the blocks would givedifferent throw limits.Skip________________________________________________________________________________

Skip,I made mine to the prints with the exception of piano hinges instead ofstrap hinges. Heard that my DAR wanted stops on the ailerons, so put inblocks with a pad of leather on each for the antique look. Just made themhit the block JUST before aileron came down and hit back of wing tocompletely close the gap.DAR liked it.walt evansNX140DL----- Original Message -----
