OK, I want to replace the flap tape and need to drop the flap all the way down to put on the new tape. From inside the baggage area I removed the panel and planned to remove the bolt thats connected to the flap arm.
Its attached to the arm with the head of the bolt facing the fuselage skin. I took the nut and washer off but there is not enough room to slide the bolt out because it is restricted by the fuselage skin. I've been assured by a multi time RV builder that this is the correct way the bolt and nut should be mounted. Have not had a chance to check the plans yet.
Am I missing something here or is there some special trick or tool to get that bolt out?
Thanks
