The first step was to install a reference against which to measure the aileron angle.
The measurement part was actually the long, tedious part of this. Fabricating and nstalling the little doo-hickey was trivial.
Here's the aileron stop. A few minutes of work turns this from 1/8" thick angle to a tiny doorstop.
The magic comes when you try to drill the holes for the aileron stop without removing the aileron from the wing. Removing the aileron is easy...resinstalling it is a bitch.
After measuring everything with a micrometer, I marked it with a grease pencil. Now I'm getting ready to drill it with a .44 Magnum.
So here's one aileron stop installed! I won't waste bandwidth documenting the other one...they both went in more or less easily.
I looked at several builder's way to plumb the pitot tube through the wing, and decided on this one. Bending the service loop wasn't easy because I did it while the tube was in the wing. It was easier to insert while it was straight.
Numerous friends, who I trust to be more concerned with my welfare than with merely being right, told me not to rely on those self-adhesive cable anchors. Truly, they suck. So in those places where a failure of the cable anchor would be serious (to wit, I don't want my wiring harness wrapped around the aileron bellcrank), I used Adel clamps.
Doing it a second time was no more fun than doing it the first time. It took me something like a year to work up the courage to cut this hole in the left wing after cutting the hole in the right wing. I suppose a shot or two of bourbon would've helped my courage, if not the steadiness of my hand.
This is also a Duckworks light, like my landing light. Unlike the landing light, though, this one is a plain old incandescent bulb. The landing light is HID. Looking back, I should've spent the extra $300 and put HID lights in both, but I got sticker shock. So my airplane will have one and only one tungsten filament. All the others are LEDs or HID bulbs. That I know of, anyway... I doubt the avionics will have incandescent bulbs, though.
