I'm on the home stretch towards obtaining a CofA for an RV-3A I've just imported into Australia, but have hit a small issue. In the -3B preview plans, the desired aileron travel is 30deg up and 20deg down. However, my -3A (type I wings, circa early '80s) is measuring closer to 40deg up and 30deg down.
I have emailed Van's, and am awaiting a response (will follow with a phone call next week). But, what I'd like to know is, is this a safety issue, or will it just lead to greater roll rates and higher sensitivity?
For the registration process, I must demonstrate that control limits are as per manuals/documentation etc. Which puts me in a bit of a bind: is there a chance that earlier manuals for the -3 called out different limits?
Cheers
