Yup, if I build one it would be that way with needle bearings Pete, I’m a lover of smooth controls.
Jim and I stopped out this afternoon to look at a few things, and sure enough if we were musical we could probably pluck a tune on the aileron cables. Had to pull up the floor to find the turnbuckle but I’ll back that off a touch and see if I can disengage the pulley-friction-wing-leveler. Pretty confident that will make it 80% better.
For fun I measured the flaps. Full range down was about 60 degrees, and I had set them about 50.
I reset them to 36 degrees so there will be less buffering now, and the midstep at 17.
Probably from that buffeting it sounds like there is some broken stitching on the stab’s, so I’ll have to address that too.
Jim thought it was a worthwhile purchase, but wasn’t ready to trade straight up for it. Lol.
