Brief Description:  flaperon controls (Part 1)

It's rewarding to finally be working on this aspect of the build. Ailerons were test monted fairly easily with minimal fiddling inside the tiney 1" holes. Torque tubes were then manufactured per the manual.

I was initially very nervous about getting all these dimensions right, but as it turns out, there are so many options to adjust rod ends on various push-rods that you can get all the throws pretty close to perfect.

Once all the rods are temporarily installed, you have to go test each set of flaperons (L & R) for equal range of motion. Getting the correct flap settings was then fairly easily acheived by setting the flaperons to the correct degrees on both sides and then marking the spot on the flap guide.

Having a propeller protractor (a bonus from my WarpDrive purchase) made it much easier to set the incidence on the flapeons.

Last image shows all the rods rivetted and ready for final install.
