I'm experiencing some trouble getting the flap fairing to fit. When the ailerons are in the neutral position and training edges of the flaps match that position, the flap fairing sits too low on the flap root edge to leave enough fairing metal to be riveted satisfactorily using the designated rivet holes. Moving the flap fairing up to get enough material to set rivets gives me about half an inch gap at the trailing edge of the flap fairing between that and the flap. If I move the trailing edge of the flap up 5 degrees or so, the fairing fits just fine.
Some questions:
1. I am making the gross assumption that the trailing edges of the ailerons and flaps line up when properly positioned. Is this a good assumption? Somehow I just can't see a 5 degree split being what Van had in mind.
2. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and how did you solve it?
Thanks for the help!
v/r,
