I have a question for you guys, was wondering if someone else had run into this issue. I am having an issue installing the flaps. The control rod on the right hand side of my -8 worked out well. I enlarged the hole in the fuse a little and the control rod had good clearance. On the left side, I enlarged the hole upward and aft all the way to the triangular floor mount angle piece. The control rod, even with two washers under the lower rod end, still runs into the side skin, and the upper rod end is about half an inch away from reaching the weldment. I would have to make a significant cut into the floor mount angle (thats the best part name I can think of) to allow the control rod to move outboard enough to bolt into the weldment. Has this happened to anyone else? Why did it only happen on one side?
Thanks everyone.
