Al & all, 

When I achieved 2-7/16 up and 2-5/16 down, it was separately (as I was 
instructed to do by the factory). Once I hooked up both sides, I lost quite a bit. 
That was when I built new brackets and started over from scratch. 

Now, like I said, I set up everything exactly as the factory said and as per 
the newer instructions. Unfortunately, after a few hours of adjusting, I can't 
even get 2-3/8 up/down out of the system.  when I did get close to that, both 
ailerons were trailing edge UP about 1/16. When I try to get them even or to 
get the factory recommended droop I lost travel.  

The one thing I did not do is mess with the Keel cable clamps (I was assured 
they are laser cut and perfect). I am beginning to think that there is yet 
another mistake in a part of mine and I have wasted tremendous time working with 
a defective system (again).  The last 3 items that I ran into this kind of 
trouble,  it turned out to be defective parts (although I was assured that that 
was impossible). 

So now, the question is.... just how to fix it?   Yes, my patience are 
wearing thin.... but I do appreciate the input :) 

Thanks,  Kurt
