I hope you see this reply
Just over a year ago, I ran into the same problem, expressed a little
differently. When hooked up by plans dimensions and parts, the aileron does
not deflect the required or recommended amount of degrees. The two things I
did to correct this condition were as follows

Thanks for the information. I will be investigating this on Saturday. I will
let you know.

Sounds good about using the spacers. I may go ahead and add some just to
make the pushrod come into better alignment, thus get full travel also. I'm
also measuring the bellcranks for accuracy this weekend.

Having just gone through this thanks to a picky inspector I have made a
former gauge so you can check aileron range of movement f
it's travel each way.
My aileron geometry is exactly to plans in this area so I'm sure many of us
has experienced this binding.

The cotter pin/castle nut should keep the bolt

Over the years, I've ended up with thickwall aluminum tubing for just about
every size bolt.

If the bolt can rotate with the control
Thanks Larry -- I understood it was a metal washer, now I understand what
you were protecting against. The alum. tube spacer was ordered just for
this purpose and is heavy wall.
Thanks, Joe

Netters,
It seems that my bellcranks may have been made alittle shy of the required
deflection. It seems that the right wing moves down acceptably, but does not
move up to the correct angle of deflection. I am wondering if this can be
corrected at the bellcrank by slightly increasing the amount

If the bearing comes loose from the rod end, the hole is larger
than the castle nut and normal washer. Hence the request for a
A970/aka Wood washer.

That's highly classified information, found only on page 59 of the KR2
construction manual:
Whoops, that was elevator, you said aileron, which is up 20, down 10.
