<<< this right outrigger _can_ be unlatched with some
manipulation of the flap itself when parked - >>>
Glenn,
This is probably a flap rigging problem. I suggest you re-read carefully
page 9M-11 of the Build Manual, and look at Fig 16 which shows the
outrigger mechanism in the down and locked position.
Fig 16 shows that there must be a 5-7 mm gap between the AN bolt which
is bolted to the FL3 flap hinge and the forward end of the slot in OR5.
This prevents any movement of the flap due to vibration to push OR5
forward and cause OR4 to unlock. If you do not have this gap, you can
unlatch the system by pushing the flap slightly up by hand. It seems to
be what happens on your aircraft.
How to fix that ? Caution: do not lengthen the slot in OR5 as this would
cause the outrigger legs to trail down in the retracted position instead
of being horizontal, therefore causing additional drag. The fix is to
adjust the flap control mechanism so that after reaching the latched
position, the flaps continue to extent to about 27degrees and making
sure there is the abovementioned gap. To make the flap angle adjustment
you need to adjust the flap operating horn FL21 and the rod end of the
flap actuating push rod. See page 28M -12 of the Build Manual. When this
adjustment are done, check on both sides that you can push the flap up
and down without causing OR5 to move forward.
Hope that helps.
