Gentlemen, new to this form and new to this airplane. I’ve owned this 1984 Skybolt, 200 horse power I/O 360 for about four months now. I love the way it flies. Just recently noticed a noise and vibration in the left lower wing when I move the aileron. The push pull tube seems to be rubbing as it passes through a rib that’s just too far inside the access hole to see visually. If I put a little pressure upwards from the bottom of the rib the rubbing goes away as I move the aileron . I would appreciate your insights as I dig deeper into this. Thanks in advance.
