The  required nose weights reduced aileron travel below the 2.5" so I am
considering rebuilding them lighter

 

Gordon;

 

I'm not sure I understand this. Do the weights hit the upper wing skin and
limit downward travel of the aileron.  Is the weight distributed over the
length? How much travel do you get?

 

I can't see that the full travel is necessary to do a test flight, so it
would seem to make sense to see if the flattened lower surface achieves
improvement before doing the rebuild.

 

FWIW,

 

Al
