INFORMATION
section
of this manual.
Locate
the travel
gage
at
wing
station
122.75.
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 belicrank
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
ofthe
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
of the
aileron
push-
pull
tube.
Loosen the
locknuts
on
both
ends and
turn
the tube
to
shorten
or
lengthen.
Tighten
the
locknuts.
Repeat
the
procedure
for
the

control columns
for
correct
chain
rig-
ging.

e.
Adjust
the
turnbuckles
in
the wheel
wells
to
bring
the
right
and
left
ailerons
to
neutral.
f.
Remove
the
straightedge
from
the control
wheels.
g.
Adjust
the travel
stops
(primary
stops)
on
both
aileron
bellcranks to
obtain
19"
to
21"
of
deflection
in
each
direc-
tion.
h.
Tighten
the locknuts
on
both
of
the
stop
bolts
for
the
aileron
bellcrank.
Rig
the aileron cables
to
the

Use the
turnbuckles
in the
wheel
wells.
j.
Be
sure
each
aileron
bellcrank
contacts
its
upstep
at
the
same
time the
bellcrank
in
the
opposite
wing
contacts
its
downstop.
k.
Adjust
the
secondary
stop
bolts
on
the link
assembly
at
the
forward

stop
bolt
must
be
0.19
to
0.31
inch with the ailerons
at
full travel
