"Has anyone out there with a L360 had
problems with aileron vibration?"
Quite a few, I believe. If you haven´t done so yet, you will need to
install two half moon ribs on each aileron in order to stiffen the lip
that holds the counterweights. The problem seems to be, that the lip is
a tad flexible so that the ailerons are actually able to buzz
(flutter!) slightly. The half moon ribs lock the CW´s relative to the
aileron itself and the buzz disappears. The ribs should be positioned
near each end of the counterweights but, of course, between the hinges.
- And don´t forget to drill drain holes through the ribs.
The hinge pin problem is well known as already described by Scott
Krueger. You might want to visit Chris Zavatson´s web site
http://www.n91cz.com/HingePlay/hinges.htm
- Chris has a nice solution to the problem (and other issues too!).
Adding some preload to the ailerons aka Scott´s description might also
be a good idea. This will add some drag, though, so be prepared to
participate in racing for the scenery only. Somewhat like Scott does
it................ :-)
