Please help me with a question fitting my flaps on my RV7. I have aligned my ailerons by the tooling holes on the outside rib as per Vans instructions. Wing tips align very well. My wings have been drilled to provide 1 degree positive incidence. My flaps and ailerons (quick build) are not warped. Both lower flap skins contact the bottom of the fuselage about 3/16" before the flaps line up with the ailerons as in the pic below. I certainly don't want to load my flap motor in the retracted position like this plus it looks like ****! I have searched the plans and manual but cant find anything about trimming the lower skin close to the fuselage. Did anyone else have this problem? If so, how did you deal with it?
