I am just doing some final tightening and adjusting before starting taxi testsand I cant get rid of a creeking noise from the ailereon piano hinge. Does anyoneelse have that? Does it go away after time? I know I wont notice it whenthe engine is running but its buggin me.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________

Dick,Good to hear you are getting close to flying!Two things can make a piano hinge creek. 1 The hinge pin line is not straight.2 The hinge pin line is not true to the center of movement between the twosurfaces for the whole length.This does not seem too likely since the cablesthat move the surface are flexible.If all else fails aerosol spray graphite works real good.Skip________________________________________________________________________________
