REFLECTOR: Aileron Rigging

[Tom Martino]

When flying and wings are leveled ... is the stick centered?
 
If centered on the ground with ailerons matching ... and centered in the
air with one aileron higher ... there may be excessive slack in the
routing of the aileron cable causing it to flex under pressure giving
one side extra length.
 
If not centered in the air ... it is simply a matter of a heavy wing.
 
Washers at the upper or lower attached points can trim out any
"heaviness" and level wings.  In your case, you'd want to trim your
right (heavy) wing up and/or your left wind down.

John and I want some opinions on our aileron rigging.  We have a "heavy"
right wing.  When we keep the aircraft level both ailerons are 3/16" up
from "in-trail".  The right wing is up more.  But on the ground they
adjust to in-trail with the stick centered.  Any suggestions?
