Well. with all the advice I got here and from Brendan, here's where I am.
I measured the throw of the cables, and marked the center (neutral) position.
I then hooked up the left aileron cable with the aileron in the " 1/8" droop
" position and both rod-ends in the middle adjustment.
I have the "old style" cable bracket pieces, and unhooked the cable clamp
(that was installed per the old manual). I then clamped it in place with a big
spring clamp.
Through lots of tweakage, I now have 2-7/16" up travel, and 2-5/16" down
travel.
So.. it is getting closer.
I'll tweak some more this morning and see how close I can get. Then I'll
hook up the right aileron and see how bad it makes things :)
Right now, it seems like there isn't too much stiffness in the system, and IM
sure it will smooth out after time. I just want to make sure I get full
deflection for out mighty crosswinds out here.
Thanks for the help.
