Hey Guys,
Have any of you ever experienced interference with the curved leading edge part of the flap hitting the raised inboard portion of the flap brace? If so, what did you do about it?
On my right flap, the curved leading edge of the flap hits the flap brace during the last 1/2" of travel. This is causing the motor to strain a little bit and I can see the curved leading edge flex in that area. Bending it down or curving it more doesn't do much to help because of the angle of the flap brace. The lip on the leading edge hits the flap brace pretty square. The only thing I can think of doing is to trim off the lip of the flap in that area. It seems as if the flap is mounted to far forward, but it is lined up with aileron perfectly. The left flap leading edge just touches the flap brace in the fully retracted position.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thank you,
Jerry
