Repair help
Greetings,
So I have this old plane I used to fly. I never solo'd her, got tired of not getting to fly all day at the field and quuit going..
The aircraft is my Hangar 9 Arrow. The wing has a loose aileron that flutters in flight if I power up too much. I can move it as much as 1/8" up and down past center, without effecting the servo so I know its loose.
I've been told I have to pull the covering back and work on the the joint where the control arm joins the hinge joint, as the shaft that the aileron rides on seems to be moving in the wing.
How do I pull the covering back to get at this without dmamging it, and how do I go about reattaching the covering??
I am in the process of setting up the plane for fligh as my interest in the hobby has rekindled, and I want to do more with the aircraft than leave it hanging in my living room as it has been the last two years..
Any advice, on this particular problem or setting her up and flying her is welcome.
Note please, I currently cannot afford to renew AMA so I will not be flying off club feilds, nor will I likely have an instructor as all the ones around here are club affiliated and would want to fly at the club feild, where Icant fly till i can afford the $60 for AMA again.. Sooo, Im using FMS flight sim software and my JR transmitter to train, and hopefully will be able to keep from damaging my bird when I finally take her up. (assuming that I havent figured out financing for the AMA to use the club resources like a smart guy would by then)
