• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I hate to post this on a biplane forum but I can't get on the stupid Aeronca forum (stupid password issue, act)

Aeronca 7AC - is it possible to somehow get the aileron quadrant in the wrong position? it looks impossible to me... there is a right and a left... no way to switch them or mount them upside down. I had 4 quadrants, 2 off an old 7AC wing and 2 off a Chief wing - but the wings are identical and interchangeable... I used two wings to make one good wing... sold the other two quadrants.

The problem - the right aileron does not get full travel - it does not hit the stops... the pushrod contacts the center pivot bolt and stops the movement...

Im at a loss at this point. Wing is covered, cables are not hanging up anywhere...

Any thoughts? anyone ever have this problem?
