I didn't see anything in the plans about aileron controls stops. Any comments on what to do there?

I am installing this now. Would be nice if I knew exactly how wide to make the "slot" for the proper travel now so I didnt have to wait until the whole plane was together. Seems like all planes built to plans would be within a few millimeters of each other. Of those that have done this, what is the width of your slot for the control arm?

Thanks,

 Mike

Rusty, I have the same question as Bruce.  But on my copy of drawing 75-ZA-7 there is no mention of aileron stops; just the deflection parameters.  Also, I cannot find reference to the elevator stops anywhere in the drawings or photo guides. 

Any additional details or references would be greatly appreciated.

I recently added mine. There is a reference on drawing 75-ZA-7 showing them, but I didn't see anything else. There was a thread and couple of pics posted by others. I dont think there is much to installing them and wait till final rigging to adjust for allowing proper aileron throw. However, if I had it to do again, I would have milled slightly elongated holes to make minute adjustments... Just my O.
