am in the process of fitting the flap into the right wing on a trigear. The
FL1 and FL2 hinges line up well with the W18 plates. The manual calls for the
FL3 (outboard) hinge to line up mid way between the two W18 plates. Mine
does not line up centered between the W18 plates. It is about 4mm right of
center. Is it necessary that the outboard hinge is exactly centered or just
somewhere between the two W18 plates?
Hi Dave:
The FL 3 needs to be centered. You will put spacers between the arms that are
equal in length. You want to make sure of a smooth and operation with no
binding.
Too far to the right? Depending on where you are standing, that could be
inboard or out.
Try changing the configuration of the side that the W20 and W19 attache to
the FL1 and FL3 that should move the flap in or out about 4 mm. You can also
change the side that the FL1 and FL3 bolt to the W18's for further adjustments.
