RV3B Aileron Bell Crank

I'm New Here
Wanted to let RV3B builders know what I changed on my RV3B. I was not pleased with the responsiveness of the ailerons. Was to quick for me. I know some of you high time pilots didn't mind. After investigating I discovered the bell crank was a 1-to-1 ratio. I pulled out the prints for my RV6A and discovered it used a 2-to-1 ration bell crank. After taking some readings I moved the arm out 1 inch on the bell crank on the side the tube from the stick hooks to and slowed down my ailerons considerably. It now flies like my RV6A did.
