My plans were lost during Hurricane Katrina but the plane is moving right along. Can anyone tell me the size of the gap between the bottom of the aileron and the lower wing skin? 1/2" 3/4" etc ? Also what is the maximum degree of down aileron? Thanks in advance for your help. Victor Taylor Irvington Alabama ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The gap is whatever you build into it. The smaller the better as long as you have enough down travel. Some builders have put mylar sheets across the gap to seal them for better airfoil efficiency. From the trail faired position, the plans call for 10 degrees down and 20 degrees up travel. The assymetrical action in the up and down comes from the angle movement on the bellcranks connected to the ailerons at the aft spar. The assymetrical movement also minimizes adverse yaw.
