Loose aileron??
I am a new flyer,
I have a Hobbico-Superstar and lately I have noticed some play in the left aileron.
The wire seems to be loose in the aileron itself and I need some ideas on how to tighten it up.
I know the wire goes into the aileron and makes a 90 deg. bend but I dont know where the bend in the wire is located.
Thanks Jim

RE: Loose aileron??
Disconnect the aileron linkage and bend the aileron down as far as it will go. You should be able to see where the wire goes into the aileron. This should be within an inch or two of the inboard end of the aileron. You can put some thin CA glue in there.
