Do you know about the SZD-59 aileron drive?


Nope. If you e-mail me the picture of the aileron circuit (from parts manual) for the 59 I can say whether it is the same or not.


It was pointed out it would have been handy to talk about hours. My glider has 919 hrs on it, and the aileron drive bushing is in a wing that was replaced about 240 hours ago (just prior to me buying it as a factory refurbished glider).

There are 3 55's at my field; one has just a little play, another about half book tolerance, and mine was just under the TSM max (plus/minus 3mm each way, measured at the stick with aileron held steady); I was first up for the fix.
