- When we built the PH-DIY the aileron system was tight. But after 91 hours of flying and repeated (de)rigging, everything settled in, and some play developed at the quick connect system. There is no p

- Hi Frans, You can measure the space by derigging and putting a bit of modelling clay on one surface, then put it together and the clay will form the thickness you want to add in tufnol to the mating

- Hi!Frans. I get this problem. The very thin tufnol packing on the quick connect surfaces unfortunately won't take a double layer. I stripped off the original material mixed up some very thick redux a

- Ah, good to know. Ok, but during rigging it is I think quite impossible to line up the stick and the aileron so they mate evenly and don't push away the redux before the rigging is completed. I usual

- Hello Frans, At the risk of disagreeing with others and saying something stupid because it is now late at night and I'm tired, I would suggest that your problem is that the two bolts on which the qui

- I agree with Kingsley that the alignment of the bolts needs checking. Misalignment often shows itself as varying aileron play depending on the amount of aileron deflection. I have cut out a small par

- I got more replies than I hoped for. Everything makes sense. As far as I remember the alignment of the bolts was ok. I see some scuffing marks on the surfaces, but there is no measurable wear. So far
