I used strong aluminum angle bolted to the two flap hinge arms and the cross
tube hinges using 4 identically drilled brackets of the same stuff. If that
makes sense. It held everything aligned while the glue was drying.
Although not flying yet my digital level shows that the flaps have the same
angle and deploy identically throughout the range.

Greg and those interested,
I remember using a trick to line up my flap cross tube hinges so very long
ago. Don't recall every detail but it involved using AN bolts the size that
the hinges pivot on, drilled holes in them lengthwise, the diameter of some
twine or fishing line that was very strong, threading the line through the
hinges and pulling it tight between both the flaps, letting the already
reduxed hinges and spacers align themselves. Pack a good fillet of redux
around the hinge mounts and left it to cure. Maybe you can figure out what
else I did or come up with your own way. The key though was letting the
hinges self align on the wet redux so that the string was absolutely
straight.

Will,
Are you going to be at Sywell next weekend as there should be two
trigear trailers there. Otherwise come and talk to me and Ian Rickard at
Popham AGM weekend in July.
Regards
Steve Pitt

Thanks for the info Troy,
There are sure a lot of great techniques out there!
Were the AN bolts cut into fairly short cross sections?
Regards,
Greg

There a lot of pics and great wing pin/flap documentation there, Ron! It
will take me awhile to go through it with my micro-tooth comb :)
>Boy some portions were thin on my spar ramps, I liked using Tufnal and
Reduxing it in place.
Noted. Just in case I cannot get HDPE or nylon spacers to work...where did
you get your extra Tufnol? ..Apologies if this has been discussed already
on the server.
>I found that making ramps for wing spar bushings and cowbell entrances
really helped out a lot
I will look into this.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg
I purchased Tufnal from my favorite company www.mcmaster.com
Search:
pheonelic
page 3585 to 3589
I probably selected the more easily to machine LE linen grade on page 3585 part#6842K22.
BTW I used G-11 for the ceiling panel (removable) it is very slightly more dimensional
stable than G-10. I forget it was either 1/16" or possible 1/13". You
can probably find details on my gallery. It was half the thickness of the factory
supplied panel but way more dimensional stable. The one sold to me by the
factory was polyester and after I fitted it, it warped way out of shape. that
said i think they now supply epoxy resin glass panels?
I use G-1o for many tasks in europa build. It is fiberglass instead of paper or
linen. kinda like mil spec circuit board material. it bonds well with redux or
Aeropoxy. I used it for mass balance guides and many other instances. It is
sold in tubes and solid rods and machines OK.
