6 forward edge of flaps interferes with Aileron Pushrod. It looks like an easy fix by simply trimming the forward outboard end of the flap at an angle and backwards. I would guess 1/4 - 3/8" at the leading egde tapering back maybe and inch or so should do it. Hidden when flaps are up and hardly noticable when down. Curious if this is common.

That's what I did on my 6

I trimmed mine about 3/4" but at a slightly curvy angle. I will see if I can get a pic tomorrow and put it up. It looked pretty nice and really would not be noticed once the flap is installed.

I forged ahead and did basically the same thing. My interference required about 1/2" of trimming. Thanks again.
