Interesting info
Jack.
I have the teflon inserts in my
aileron hinges. There is no hinge slop and no back lash in the rod
ends. The ailerons reflex up in flight. They have been that way
since day one.
Gary,
Clamp one aileron to the wing tip. Go to the other side and deflect
the non-clamped aileron. Report back the displacement range of the
outboard aft tip. That is the "lash" measurement.
