Get it a LITTLE PLAY!
Seriously. My right aileron piano hindge has some play in it and I was wondering what is acceptable.
When I grab the aileron from the trailing edge (out side edges) and torque it in and out there is more slop than in the other aileron hindge. I don't know what is acceptable. I am not worried about it but want to ask just in case.
Thanks
Fred

Hi Fred
It is hard to describe how much play is ok but if you look closely at the
hinge while pulling on the aileron you can tell if it is stretched or worn.
