Hi Huntcam
Look at chapter 27 and use template for wing and see where flaps are at.
Ailerons can be adjusted up or down.
If flaps are drooping, look close at flap pin/bushing fit, that there is no
movement on the control horn to flap drive tube, that the flap drive pivots are
not loose and that the both ends of the flap pushrod are tight. We installed
adjustable flap up stops. We followed the manual as far as flap pin location,
but the flap cross tube was hitting the back side of the cockpit module. Some
mutilation and BID replacement was in order in order to get the flaps to raise
as much as we wanted.
Our flaps drop the same amount, but without a stop, one raises a little more
than the other. With the stop, it limits the up of the one that raises too
much, and you pull a tiny bit more to get the other to hit the second stop.
For what it's worth, we have our ailerons a little reflexed until we learn the
bird. From what I understand, when you pull positive Gs the ailerons go down
because the pushrods don't flex but the wings do. Not ideal as far as having a
tame bird to reduce effective washout. Met one pilot who drooped the ailerons
on purpose to gain a little efficiency. He said it does work, but the bird
spins like a maple leaf without too much provocation.
