I have my flaps installed for the first time. Cut the flap push rod holes and trimmed the flap skins as needed. In the up position they line up pretty good with a neutral aileron and the bottom flap skins fit nicely against the bottom of the fuselage.
I measured the flap down angle at 45° which section 15 says is the max.
The concern is, the flap lip is very close to to the top wing skin. I understand that if the flap lip pops over on top of the upper wing skin and the flap is retracted much damage ensues
My question is...how do I limit the flap travel like Mel suggest to 38°?
It seem that once the flap up adjustment has been made...the down is what it is.
A lot of people say they limited the down adjustment but don't say how the did it
If the answers really simple, my apologies ahead of time
Here's a video of the flaps in action just for fun...doesn't really show the lip issue
