Hi,
I've just been informed by my mechanic who is assembling my S1 that the upper aileron bell cranks are striking in the inside of my slave struts when the stick is deflected towards full on the downwards stroke. He is under the impression that I may have the incorrect aileron bell cranks installed on the upper ailerons. Just wondering if anyone has pictures of their symmetrical upper ailerons horns I can send to my mechanic to cross reference to mine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
