• 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 need somebody (if more than one person better to avoid possible errors) who can help me measuring the linear displacement of the bolt in the torque tube that holds the controls for the ailerons.

I mean to measure in the actual plane deflecting the ailerons from full left to right, in order to know how much linear movement does the control bar makes.
I need it because my ailerons are not to plans. So the control system has to be trimmed.
I already have the aileron part designed, I mean the hinges, but need to work on the bellcrank. So it could be great knowing the throw of the aileron bars!

I’m including a basic drawing to show where we are now.


Thanks everyone in advance, Jose
