I have a question for those of you who built their 601HDs according to the 

hand drawn plans.  I had to adjust the length of my ailerons, so removed the 

inboard end rib and horn.  When I was reassembling the aileron, and went to 

install the reinforcing L angle that I had left off originally, I noticed 

things didn't seem to fit as shown on the drawings.  Then I noticed that the 

original drawings had dimensions of 40mm from the front face of the aileron 

to the center of the hole in the horn, and 15mm from the bottom of the 

aileron to the center of the hole, as shown on 6-V-10.  The 4th edition of 

the CAD drawings, though, show dimensions of 25mm and 25mm.  Does anybody 

recall which dimension they used?



Thanks for your help.

Bill,

Even though the aileron rib doesn't change much, I'd treat the 25mm 

dimensions as a corrective effort to make the travel less a problem in 

the forward (aileron down)

direction.  You want a little more up aileron than down and the 25mm 

down from the rib is very helpful in keeping the rod end and bolts from 

getting caught up on the

lower trail edge of the wing, or it was in my case a bit of a problem.  

I made the first horn and had to revert to a second one using the 25mm 

dimensions.
