REFLECTOR::Re: Aileron Rigging Frustration

[Scott Derrick]

Kurt,

I was told by Brendan that you want to load up the ailerons by having them 
both up or down about 1/16 of an inch.

Of course I'll have to manually dig through the VV(he published an article 
last yea about that) to find out if it was up or down? :-)  Which means I 
won't, but you will...  :-)
