Yes, I have out-back gears and flap system behind the aft spar. Kit is Super-Fast-Build-360-Carbon. Restriction is the aft spar in up travel (but that is OK I have flap full up in reflex) and motor/drive stroke is a restriction in the down travel. After a much evaluation of the situation and also input from Lancair Factory folks a I've decided to do these two modifications: A) Move the flap's motor aft 1.250" B) Manufacture a new center torque arm with clevis attach pivot-point lower by 0.625" These will give me flap deployment from -7deg (reflex) to +40deg (full down),... for total travel of 8.750" as per drawings.

Garry,
