Bill,

I ran into the same problem and I understand this = is inherit in the legacy.=A0 Check your core length from the leading edge of the = wing to the “outside” =A0flap hinge on the underside of the wing.=A0 = Compare both sides.=A0 I believe you will find that the right-wing is about = =BE” of an inch narrower compared to left wing.

The fix I came up was to shim the right outside = hinge bracket to correct the placement of the flap.=A0 The other item was the = outside hinge arm on the right flap was not located symmetrical compared to left = flap. So I removed the right outside hinge arm fill the holes and redrilled. This brought the flap into acceptable tolerances for my = aircraft.

This is a note from my log of the time when I ran = into the problem.

“Measured flaps hinge placement from right to = left.=A0 Found that the right outside flap change is three quarters of an inch = shorter compared to the right flap.=A0 The problem is the core length at the = outside hinges for the flaps comparing right leaning to the left wing.=A0 It is = found that the core length on the right-wing is shorter.

Removed flaps and compared hinged arm mounting = points.=A0 Found that the right outside hinge is not mounted as the same to = left.”

Bill where are you located?=A0 I see that you are = with BellSouth.
