Hi Dave,
Just finished this job last week. My starboard connection had a large gap and
the
port a small gap. First I tried having the ailerons in neutral, moving the
stick until the bottom of CS15 just touched W16, measured the gap, cut the
measurement
in half, and made a shim. For reasons known only to Stephen Hawking,
this did not work in our universe.
I then used 3/4 inch wide shims, slid them in between CS15 and W16, until the
contact
with full deflection in both directions was perfect. Pulled the shim pack
out, CS15 out, and put calipers to them. I then made three small "buttons"
of the correct size shim, (shim thickness - phenolic pad) buttered the CS15 with
redux and flox, pushed the "buttons" in the mix, dropped the phenolic pad on,
clamped them with C clamps, and cleaned the ooze away. Then I checked the
thickness
and evenness with the calipers again and left to setup.
I'm very happy with the results, ailerons move like silk with direct contact
the
whole way.
When you take your measurements, make sure you have all your pins in place. It
makes a difference.
