Looking for some advice about rigging ailerons on the -12. We weren’t getting correct throw, and the rod end/bearings were corroded badly. So we replaced the rod ends and are trying to get rigged but are struggling.
We’ve read everything we can find, and the erection manual seems way too easy. We’ve rigged the down 25 degrees with the rod/bearings, but to get the ailerons to be at trail or slightly low, and still get full throw (31 up 25 down correct?), we only have a couple threads in each side of the barrel on the balance cable, and the control cables on both sides are as tight as they will go. We don’t dare keep so many threads showing on the balance cable but can’t think of anything else to do. High praise to whoever is willing to call and explain or explain here.
