While doing research on fabricating the Van's aileron stop I came across info on making the Delrin stop. Looked great, simple, easy and adjustable!
So I ordered several diameters of Delrin stock...Others had used ?" stock but my gap looked pretty big. Using ?" stock I fabricated a stop with the aluminum bushing pressed into it.
The ?" stop isn't event close to touching the bracket?? Is there really that big of difference in hinge dimensions between projects? It looks like I will need at least a 1" stop.
Am I doing something wrong??
The gap is really more than this photo shows, because the aileron is resting against one of the hinge bolts on the outboard end.
