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?

that's the case, you have some options on the positioning of the flap tube
control during your wing attachment process. If flap control shows flaps
retracted,
a strap around the wing holding the flaps in the retracted position could
be handy.
