Today I spent some time measuring and adjusting the flight controls. My goal was to get everything rigged within the Vans specs, and to correct an issue where the flap and aileron training edges were misaligned.
I downloaded the Vans Specs and copied them into a spreadsheet, then measured the various deflections using a digital level. Note, the elevators are not well aligned, so I measured the neutral point as the middle of the left and right elevators.
Everything measured in-spec initially, but I wanted to fix the trailing edge problem. This came about because I used the wing-tip template to set the aileron neutral point. A few years ago Vans changed the plans, and they now recommend ignoring the template, and simply putting the flap in the up position, then setting the trailing edges of the ailerons to be aligned with the flaps. I had to disconnect the for-aft pushrods, unwind one of the rod end bearings one full turn (on both sides), and the alignment came out perfect.
