The way to aviod having to move the pivot bolt is to get the CS14 brackets
in exactly the right place when you set up the Aileron quick connect system
(see step 10 Page 14-5 (TriGear manual)). I found this is very hard to do
absolutly accurately. The two problems are a) ensureing the treaded rod
you are using as a guide is exactly at right angles to the bracket. B) the
bracket "moves" when you do up the bolts due to the unevenness of the
surface you are bolting to.
You can only check how accurate you have been after the cockpit module has
been bonded in. At this stage it is no longer possible to correct the CS14
position so you change the pivot bolt instead. I hope the extra effort I
made to get the CS14s right will pay off.

Subject: xs wings questions
Hello the Oracle (again). A few question on my XS wings.
1). I have installed a 3/4 inch conduit in case I want to add lights at a
later date. I have routed it along the floor of the wing, adjacent to the
pitot tubes as I have seen that this has been done before in the archive.
After having done one wing, It struck me that this might be considered a mod
and should have pfa approval. (I always did do things backwards) is this the
case?
2). Installing the aileron pushrods, how much thread do I screw into the
ends before locking them up?
3). I noticed a reference to having to move the pivot bolt at a later stage
if the quick connect mating faces don't match up. Is there a way to avoid
this?
Any feedback welcome.
Thanks
