I didn't see anything in the plans about aileron controls stops. Any comments on what to do there?
Comment
I am installing this now. Would be nice if I knew exactly how wide to make the "slot" for the proper travel now so I didnt have to wait until the whole plane was together. Seems like all planes built to plans would be within a few millimeters of each other. Of those that have done this, what is the width of your slot for the control arm?
Thanks,
Mike
Rusty, I have the same question as Bruce. But on my copy of drawing 75-ZA-7 there is no mention of aileron stops; just the deflection parameters. Also, I cannot find reference to the elevator stops anywhere in the drawings or photo guides.
Any additional details or references would be greatly appreciated.
