I have installed full length piano hinge for the ailerons. Now when I go toinstall the aileron horn the top bolt would exit through the hinge flange.For those who have installed piano hinges, how did you deal with the upperbolt and the hinge interference. Here are my options as I see it:1: Recess the bolt head into the aileron spar so the hinge could sit flatbut I don't know if that is ok. 2: Moving the top hole down about a half inch but that would reduce thespacing between the two holes and I'm guessing make the aileron horn moresusceptible the twisting.3: Notch the aileron hinge flange to clear the bolt head. To me #3 sounds like the best idea but I just don't know. ChrisSacramento, CaWestcoastpiet.com________________________________________________________________________________

Chris it was 3 for me. Also had to re-make aileron pulley brackets as youcan see here. Rear horn brace was not installed yet either.JackDSM-----Original Message-----

for what it is worth=2C I took option 1 and recessed the bolt. I used a structural-type countersunk screw and large diameter dimpled washer. It fits flush under the hinge just fine.GeneDate: Tue=2C 25 Jan 2011 08:11:03 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Aileron Horn and Piano Hinge
