I need an aileron before I go to take my checkride....
The DFE is a super stickler with the paperwork and my CFI doesn't think it'll pass his inspection. I have a friend, who has a friend, who has some. But before I commit, do any of you guys know where I might get the most bang for my buck?
The aileron, (the right one, by the way. the left one's fine.) is mechanically sound I suppose. At least, it passed its annual. But it has a small ( trust me, unfixable, we tried.) dent in the middle on the trailing edge. And also, about 3/4 of the way down, has a widespread gradual bend all the way to the tip. Which doesn't line up right, causing the need for tedious left aileron and rudder to compensate a gradual right turning tendency during S&L flight.
I'm outside with the iPad right now, but as soon as I get to the computer, I'll post some pics.
