Mine have about 1 deg difference down.   To make the angle the same when
retracted i put in a stop as recommended by bud.

Rowlandcan you quantify =9Cdrooping somewhat=9D?

Personally, I gave up on attempting perfection long ago and have since
settled on striving for excellencewhile reminding myself that my g
oal is
to get Ms. Europa up in the air.

After fitting them, the extended angles of both flaps are closely similar
to those recorded before I fitted the outriggers, but the retracted
positions are both drooping somewhat. The travel now is 25.3 degrees (port)
and 26.0 degrees (starboard).
