Hi,
I use a piece of duct tape holding the flaps temporarily in place (all up) while
rigging single-handedly having set the electric flap position (TRI) to full
"up". The flap pin meets the bushing proper. Once rigged I tear the duct tape
off, for next time.

Hi! Tony.
You have me completely baffled . My a/c is a trike and has the
electric drive flaps.
However it also has a slotted link in the outboard hinge
mechanism on each wing which prevents the flap from falling past fully
extended position.
I can not for the life of me understand why you would need to leave
this hard ware out. when it serves the purpose which you are trying to
solve?

Thanks Fred,Bob Graham and co re flap rigging. I will have electric
flaps and could therefore rig with the flaps at any position. At the
moment they will fall right out of the close out and rotate such that
the trailing edge of the flap can be against the wing, because I don't
have the outrigger hardware to create an extended stop. I either need
to come up with an extended stop for my flaps, or rig the wing with the
flaps up. Has any of the electric flap Tri-gear guys managed this other
ways, or have any suggestions?
