I have the wings mounted and am fiitting the left flap on my RV-8. The trailing edge of the flap ends up about
3/4" below the fuselage if I align it with the aileron. This makes me think my aileron is mounted too low or I am not getting the aileron properly in trail. I scoured the RV boards and came across a reference to a "W-730 aileron rigging tool" and to using the tooling holes in the end ribs to align the aileron, then the flap. My plans pre-date these instuctions. Can someone describe how to make a W-730 and the procedues for using the tooling holes. Thanks.
