To rig the aileron controls, the outboard wing sections must be installed.

Idler Arm, 4581 The basis for rigging the aileron control system is to set the stick, idler arm, bellcrank and the aileron to neutral. Then the control tubes are adjusted accordingly. 1 1/8 ” 1 1/8 ” Approx. Note: Parts shown & labeled are for left side only. Pre assembled Outboard Control Tube 4578 (2 pcs.)

Using a thin wire try to insert through the hole. If you are able to insert the wire into the rod end there are not suffi- cient threads in rod end. When set, the check nut must be tight- ened. W A R N I N G (read and understand this) ( The situation shown is acceptable) Align skin using the factory installed cleco holes in leading edge. Weigh down with a couple of shot bags as necessary. Note: The dimensions are at the outboard end of the aileron. The aileron is flush with wing tip in neutral position. (This establishes neutral) Aileron Travel Fig. 6:B:4 Operate the system through the travel to check for adequate clearance around all moving parts.

Counterbalancing Ailerons The Legacy ailerons are 100% mass balanced. Initially install more lead than needed. After paint the excess will be removed for 100% mass balance. Note: Left side will require slightly more weight than the right side due to the trim system. Counter Balancing Ailerons Fig. 6:C:1 Trim Tab LEFT AILERON Note: The break is for the push-pull tube pas- sage. The premolded lead counterweight fits into the slot in the aileron leading edge. C 1. Prior to bonding the lead counterweights, insert the weights into the slots and add/remove lead as necessary. C 2. Temporary superglue the lead weights into place. Install aileron on wing and check for proper clearance through the travel range. Suggestion: Use a pointer as a reference for balancing (You can’t leave the level on the aileron when checking the balance.) C 5. After paint remove lead as required to achieve 100% balance. Note: All hardware including the trim system must be installed! UPPER WING SKIN Up 17° 0° Down -11° AFT SPAR C 3. Bond the counterweight in place with epoxy/flox. C 4. Secure the counter weight every 3” with a countersunk screw (MS24694-S56), washer(AN960-10L) and nylock nut (AN365-1032A). C 6. Install the aileron and check for proper clearance through the travel range. 1 3 . 0 ° Note: The above figure shows the aileron 100% mass balanced at the wing tip. Note: The above figure shows the aileron overbalanced. The counterweight should clear all structure by 1/8” min.

The trim tab must be safety wired prior to flight. S9 Servo Replaced with T4-5-T5 Servo. (Countersink the holes in the servo.) How the Trim System Works A trim tab deflection results in opposite deflection of control surface. Example: As the trim tab moves up, the (left) aileron moves down. This will cause the airplane to roll right. Neutral Fwd A/C Up Instructions for Adjusting the Aileron Trim Servo 1. Use a 12V battery to set the servo to center of travel (this is the neutral point). 2. Set the trim tab to neutral position (level). 3. Adjust the clevis accordingly.
