    Default Has anyone noticed a tight spot in the aileron roll movement

    On my k6 when on the ground I have free control movement but when I throttle back to descend I notice a tight spot on the ailerons when moving the stick side to side, has anyone else noticed this?

    I have never heard of that before. I

    t would be a good idea to go through your entire aileron system see if anything is binding or almost rubbing while on the ground. You should also lube the aileron hinges and all of the pushrod ends with LPS-1 or similar.

    Thanks I’m going to go through it completely this winter and see if I can find where it is binding a bit, it funny that it only sticks a little when I’m slowed up or in descent .
