Hi to all in this form:)

I hope I could get some answers? I have just purchased, shipped to South Africa and flown Skybolt N305JP a beautiful bolt built and completed in 1990 by John Prokop.

I hope I could get some advice? My question is aileron rigging and "Bounce" when applying full aileron during a roll? All is great but when aggressively applying full aileron in a roll I get a buffet on the ailerons. For those who have flow an RV-8 you would know at full tilt there is a buffet on the stick. This however is more serious?

Any suggestions? Ailerons are all symmetrically rigged with the trailing edges.

Any experienced reply will be appreciated.

Regards

Nico
