Brief Description:  Installed ailerons and setup geometry

Installed each aileron to brackets previously installed before paint
Installed control rod from belcrank to aileron control horn; (used outside hole in belcrank)

Here's where I found out a few things:

The control rod that they give you is too long. To get any reasonable throw, you have to screw the ends in ALL THE WAY!. This basically gives you little to no adjustment. The manual calls for 3.5 " of throw both ways; this is not possible without cutting into the wing. After a few hours of trial and error, I was able to get 3+ inches of throw in one direction and 4+ in the other. The physical stop was the limiting factor for me, but 3" will be plenty.
