On the Tr1 There are individual threaded adjusters to position both flaps
tight against the wing root fairings , so that part could be an easy fix .
But why this should have changed, or needs adjustment after the initial
build setup should be investigated before making any adjustment . - one
possibility, is that the flap torgue activation tube behind the seat is a
split tube assembly joined by two bolts at 90 degrees if these have come
slightly loose then the holes may have become elongated over time - i am
thinking this might be the problem as the left flap is the actual one that
is directly connected to the lever and the right side via the two bolts.
See the picture from the build manual .
The important point is the flap angles after they are deployed is the same.
so my starting point after making this adjustment is to measure these
angle . if they are different then something is wrong with the geometry of
the flap attachment points and we can go from there to work out a solution .

So it appears that the right flap has some kind of slack issue. In the pick
below the right flap is fully retracted but is not flush. The left flap is
flush. At the trailing edge it appears to be hanging down about 1/2" - 3/4".
Took the pick at the end of day and was too tired to think about measuring.
