I have finally got around to fitting my ailerons and flaps.
I set up the ailerons useing the jig holes in the main ribs and ailerons, set the brackets as per the plans (1 5/8" below the centerline of jig lines) but this makes the aileron sit about 1/4" below the flap.
I contacted the factory and they said that the aileron was fine, but I had to move the flap. This would mean useing 1/4" packing strip to set the flap below the level of the lower wing skin. It would also mean a 1/4" gap between the top of the flap and the top skin.
I do remember reading something about this somewhere, but cannot find it.
Any advice apreciated.
Cheers
