That situation is already built in to the design, because the actuating horn
welded to the cross bar is located off centre. Which (due to the elasticity
of the cross bar) results in the cross bar twisting and the port side
retracting slightly ahead of the s'bd side. So a thicker stop on the port
side will help to counter this when the flaps are in the retracted position.

Hi Sue and Bill, Howdy Bob.
What a lovely country you live in NZ, i visited a few years ago and it
brought back memory's of Old England , that a compliment. My favourite
Aeroplane, nothing could catch it in WW2, and the later version had a
pressurized cockpit, very tricky on one engine go around. My neighbour now
95 was a Mossy Pilot, so i know a little about them. We had one over here
but crashed just after completion, over here they get the Who you Knows to
fly them, and Not the What you Knows so they crash. Hope that's not the case
in NZ.
My Trim, Yes a little bit of differential on the Flap would do it, but i
don,t know how to do it ?, as far as i know there is a Cross Bar into which
the pins on each flap locate into, so both move together, so if say i
physically restricted one flap slightly it would twist the cross bar slight,
not good, relocating the actual flap bracket and pin is OK, but i am not up
to that expertise.
So i was considering a fixed trim tab on the Flaps outer trailing edge but
would just the tab generate enough lift,?? ( i can manage to make and glue
or should i say bond a tab on) I find i need this left rudder with one or
two up
The rubber Bungee , is that,s just from the control stick to the centre
tunnel, to hold the stick slight over is that right. A fixed aileron tab
would do this, but i suppose a Bungee may be adjustable
Simple but maybe practical.
Alan
