Can someone someone PLEASE take a picture of the holes in the fuse floor for the flap pushrod? I'd like to cut the hole - at least get close, but the rough size and shape is what I need.

Not at the hangar right now, but I can tell you that they are bigger than you think....

Here they are on my RV6 - I believe the 9's are much bigger

...- I believe the 9's are much bigger

They are a bit larger and a different shape. The reason is the flaps move aft just a bit due to the different hinge arrangement.

Here is a picture of mine:


You will have to just start filing until the rod end retracts into the hole and there is room for the rod to move for and aft.

FYI, when I first started flying I found that one of my rods would rub when deploying flaps in a turn. It was simple enough to grab a small file, disconnect that flap and enlarge the hole about a 1/16".

Thanks guys.

I'm laid up due to ankle surgery for a few more weeks, so I keep looking for jobs like this I can do from a seated position . . . Grrrr.
