A caveat to this story.
Which side are you using to call “preset
at the reflex position”? One or both may be incorrect in reflex.
The fuselage fairing positions before “adjustment”
are a bit rough. By that I mean the fairings are not at an equal level condition
(WL) with respect to each other from the factory … at least mine weren’t.
You must make them equal in waterline position by “adjusting” the
fairings during construction (heatgun and urging). Otherwise, one WILL be at a
higher (or lower) WL than the other. One of mine was >1/4” higher than
the other. I adjusted one of them and don’t know if the reflex is correct
or not. So we’ll either suffer the indignity of having flaps that do not
match with the fairings, your reflex will not be perfect, you’ll fly with
offset (un-faired) aileron to fly with out roll, or you’ll split the
flaps and your ailerons will look funny. Or a combination of some of these.

Did I read correctly when someone said
that the fairings molded into the 360 fuselage are preset at the reflex
position? So basically when the flaps are fair with these molded fairing
at the fuselage then they are reflexed up the proper
amount? I have a 1998 kit.
