Also check the travel of each cable when it is unhooked.  Stop to stop
should be at least 3=94.  If not, return to Velocity for a replacement.  =
I
had one that was only about 2 =BD=94, that extra half inch makes a big
difference in the aileron travel.  Once you get the cables clamped at
the keel so the travel is centered and goes 1 =BD each way you=92ll be =
well
on your way.  I had to re-drill for one of the attach brackets on the
keel to get the cable positioned properly, without running out of
adjustment travel.

Well this is interesting.  Just a few days ago, someone was mentioning
that the aileron cables for the long wing were supposed to be 4' 9"...
and 4' 6" for the short wing.=20

=20

I have the 173 Elite (long wing.. little fuselage) and the cables I have
are 4' 6" long. Since I am in the process of rigging my ailerons, I
measured them and checked the curvature.  I don't have room for 3 more
inches of control cable in my bird.  The cables run right along the keel
fin, make a nice curve to the side of the fuselage, and right to the
brackets. =20

=20

Another interesting note is that my manual says the holes for the
aileron cable clamp (in the engine bay) are pre-drilled.  I didn't have
any holes in my brackets.=20

=20

Right now, I have 2.7" of left up/right down aileron, but only 1.7" or
right up/left down. Hopefully this can be tweaked out by adjustment, but
I haven't got there yet. I waded through the archives but didn't see
anything regarding aileron travel & rigging.=20

=20

=20

Any pointers?=20

=20

Thanks, =20
