Thanks Scott,

 

I=E2=80=99ve done ever= ything by the book so I think I=E2=80=99ll hold for now and after I get bot= h wings back on look at it again to trim it as best I can. Then I=E2=80=99l= l see what additional adjustments come out of flight testing.

Stan,

 

Adjust the rigging so that the deployment angles are as close as possib= le.  You will find that further adjustment may be necessary while you = are in the test flying phase of the airworthiness certification. = I.E. A wing may seem inordinately "heavy" and adjusting the= flap rigging may correct that condition (one side up a half turn on the be= aring and the other down a half turn).
