    Dave There's a discrepancy between the article in your flaperons directory (file 001.jpg) which says that the angle of the flaperon bellcrank with the horizontal should be 11.5 degrees and the instructions (page 27, file 007.jpg) which say 19-20 degrees. Can anyone corroborate either figure as correct? Sacha

    My assembly manual from 1994 says 11.4 degrees. Dave's files are from the later manual version...2003 I think...when they included rigging "reflex" or "negative" flap setting to act as a spoiler. this may account for the difference in the instructions. I'll have to do some deep thinking on this. Anyone else know for sure? Mine is set at 11.4 degrees and flys straight and level hands off with no roll problems when flaps deployed. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=402731#402731
