I ran my hinge all the way up so that the "knuckle" was even with the top of the capstrip. I did all this after the aileron was cut away from the wing. Yes, the filler capstrip was shaped so that the hinge would lie flat. The filler capstrip was moved forward so that the top-forward edge was even with the front of the sloped side of the aileron spar. Clear as mud? C----- Original Message -----

You are correct Andrew, as the spring compresses and the A arm swings towards the fuselage, the angle on the bolt tubes changes.- I was able to construct mine to minimize the binding at these locations.- It is only at the extreme end of travel, where the spring is almost fully compressed, that there is any sign of binding.- In my mind, it is not going to be an issue, considering how often the gear gets compressed to that extreme.Michael PerezPietenpol HINT VideosKaretaker Aerowww.karetakeraero.com________________________________________________________________________________
