MANUAL
a.
Aileron
and
flap
surfaces
must
align
with the
upper
and
lower
surfaces
of the
wing
within
1/16
inch.
b.
Check the aileron
for lost
motion
at
the
midpoint
of the
trailing
edge
with
the
bellcrank
stationary.
The
maximum
allowable lost motion is
1/16
inch.
c.
Position the
left
aileron
bellcrank
so
that the
center
of
the
attach
point
hole
for
the
cable
is
1.9
to
2.0
inches
from
the
adjacent
rib.
The
aileron
is in
neutral
when
the aileron
trailing
edge
aligns
with
the
trailing edge
of
the
wing,
and
its
inboard end is
parallel
with the
outboard
end of
the
flap.
A
horizontal
misalignment
of
3/16 inch
is
allowed
be-
tween
the
trailing edges
of
the
aileron
and
wing.
If
the aileron
is
not
in
neutral,
adjust
the
length
ofthe
aileron
push-
pull
tube.
Loosen the
locknuts
of both
ends and
turn
the
tube
to
shorten
or
lengthen. Tighten
the
locknuts.
Repeat
the
procedure
for
the
right
aileron.
d.
Place the control wheel
in
neutral
by
leveling
the
top
of the
control
wheel with
a
spirit
level.
NOTE
The
control
wheel
must
be
level
in
relation
to
the
airplane.
If the
airplane
is
not
level,
make
a
corresponding
change
to
the
position
of the
control
wheel
using
a
spirit
level
protractor.
e.
Adjust
the turnbuckles
in the
wheel
wells
to
bring
the
right
and
left ailerons to
neutral.
f.
Adjust
the travel
stops
(primary
stops)
on
both aileron
bellcranks
to
obtain
19"
to
21"
of
deflection
in
each
direc-
tion.
g.
Tighten
the locknuts
on
both
stop
bolts
for
the bellcrank.
h.
Rig
the
aiieron cables
to
the
tension
shown in
Figure
4-6.
Use
the
turnbuckles
in
the
wheel
wells.
i.
Be
sure
each
aileron bellcrank
contacts
its
upstep
at
the
same
time
the bellcrank
in the
opposite
wing
contacts
its
downstop.
j.
Check
the control
stop
(secondary
stop)
in the
control
column
for
0.12
to
0.18
inch clearance
in
each
direction.
If
the
clearance
is
not
correct,
recheck the
entire
aileron control
system
for
correct
chain and
cable
rigging.
NOTE
The control
stop
clearance
provides
a
slight
movement
of the
control wheel
(a
"cushion")
after
the
travel
stops
on
the aileron
bellcranks
make
contact.
k.
Recheck cable tension
and
safety
wire the turnbuckles.
Be
sure
that
all locknuts
are
tight.

direction
of
movement.
When
the
control
wheel
is
moved
to
the
left,
the left aileron
must
move
up
and
the
right
aileron
must
move
down.
When
the
control
wheel
is
moved
to
the
right,
the
right
aileron
must
move
