Hey all, I'm finishing up my flap install and I've got the flaps seated nicely against the fuselage. My concern is that upon full down travel of the flaps my digital inclinometer shows only 31.7 degrees travel.
Per the section 15 limits, 32 degrees (I'm not arguing that 31.7 is close enough) is minimum travel and as I recall something like 40 is max. My question is how in the heck do you get any more travel? The only way I see it would be to adjust the center lever arm length on the weldment.
I have full extension on the actuator, if I adjust any rod bearing ends it's not going to matter since the weldment is a fixed lever arm. Admittedly 30 degrees of flaps seems like plenty to me, but I'll take more if I can.
What am I missing? Am I missing something?
