When my plane is on the ground, I can align one aileron trailing edge with the flap and the other one also lines up. I understand due to the nature of the push rod linkages there is a small amount of "play" between the two ailerons, but it is very small. Hold one in place and the other can move maybe 1/4".
In flight, the ailerons look way out of alignment, as much as an inch, usually the right will be high with the left aligned with the flap.
I am at a loss as to how this occurs. Any thoughts?
