Abstract:
A counterbalance mount bracket for mounting aileron counterbalances on the ailerons of selected aircraft, which counterbalance mount bracket includes an aileron attachment plate having a wing hinge flange adapted to mount on the wing hinge of the aircraft, an aileron hinge flange adapted to mount on the aircraft aileron hinge and a gusset plate for attaching the aileron counterbalance to the counterbalance mount bracket and facilitating pivoting of the aileron counterbalance with the aileron. In a preferred embodiment the counterbalance tubing attached to the counterbalance spade in the aileron counterbalance is welded to the gusset plate, which gusset plate is, in turn, welded to the wing hinge flange of the aileron attachment plate.
