last) and discovered that:
With the bottom closeout flange left rough trimmed (2" from nearest slot)
and the flap spaced 5mm from the forward face of the closeout
and the bottom of the flap pressed against the closeout
I have a consistent 6mm gap between the top of the flap and the top flange
of the closeout.
All I can think is that the flap cores (it's pretty much the same on both
wings) were cut undersized.
However, the ailerons (which seem to fit pretty near perfectly) are a
reasonable match for the outboard end of the flap -with the flap a little
thicker if anything. Moving the flap aft doesn't help. With the 5mm spacer
the root chord is 50.5".
Can sanyone tell me the dimension of the thickest point, root end of their
flaps.
Any one else experience the same thing?
Any suggested fix schemes?
As it happens, I have never seen a Europa with its flaps up -so I have no
idea what "standard" gaps look like.
All the best,
Miles
