Hi Mike,
I had very similar problems and thought about bending the rod, but decided
that the various bends produced such a complex
movement that I was scared of losing my way on rebending. I found that I
could fit the Horn FL21 inboard of the Horn Plate FL19. This moved the rod
inboard by about 1/4" and improved the clearance.
Note that this was only possible because F21 was at its fullest extension to
give maximum range. I spoke to Neville about this when trying to solve
other flap rigging problems and he could see no technical problem with this
simple change.

Just taken the fuselage out of the jig- looking at the various methods to
stop it falling over!

> Anyone had problems fitting the flap operating rod? Mine is binding on the
tunnel wall by the small bulkhead and is very close to the main pitch tube
at times. I think all would be ok if I bent the rod so to be a little closer
to the centre line abeam the brake cylinder.
