Will,
Attached is a method of rigging a Europa for hands off. I never have
had to add an ugly trim tab to get one to fly straight.
Some techniques provided may mean you need to order new flap brackets to
get the rig right.
Usually on a new build, I use Bondo and wood shims to set the flaps
perfectly rigged with the incidence board provided in the manual.
Put the wings on and check from behind. When it is perfect, then finish
the hardware to make it right.
I have some experience with making silk purses out of sow's ears, and I
know yours will work out.
Email if you have extraordinary difficulty.
Hope this helps

well i finally got my flaps assembled following the procedure in the
book....
I find that there is about 4 degrees of difference in the deflection
of
the flaps.
I am assuming that this is not normal and will cause weird flying
characteristics but before I take everything to bits (for the
umpteenth
time) i wanted to consult the collective wisdom about this.
