Flap does not bottom out against rear spar doubler

[Wayne Gillispie]

Ref Pg 23-9, Step 4.

I have about 1/16" clearance between rear spar doubler and flap leading edge(reflex position). The flap leading edge is bottoming out against the bottom wing skin before reaching the doubler. I don't want to finish the aileron rigging or move on to the tips until this is resolved.

I had the same problem, ended up using my seaming pliers (and a bit of cardboard for cushion) to GENTLY lift up the skin a bit.

I did it slowly, made 3 or 4 passes across the wing till it fit correctly.

Glad I wasn't the only one Mike

I appreciate the advice. You'll be flying soon!! Have fun.
