Are the wing tips, aileron and flaps in alignment with flaps in reflex
or flaps in trail? Mine are aligned with flaps in reflex. Are they
incorrect?

recognize also that the flaps are reflexed so clamping one side and
aligning
the other is counter productive. Flaps need to be set in trail for the
procedure to work.

No. They are not incorrect. They should line up in reflex.

I aligned with the flaps in reflex. I'm finding that I can tweak my ailerons a
little more to be closer aligned within spec.
My trailing edge difference appears to be caused by one flap being about .5 degree
low. What I thought was the offending aileron actually matches the wing tip
length.

| Subject: | Need Airport/Sightsee advice "Best of the East" |
Hi all,
I'm perhaps headed East for vacation with the kids, and need
some recommendations for airports to stay at and sights near
those airports in some cases. The framework is this:
Wisconsin to
West Virginia to
Maryland
<pause to tour washington DC>
Delaware to
Virgina to
North Carolina to
South Carolina
Back Home
I really don't have a defined plan other than I know I'll spend at
least a couple or 3 days in D.C. The other states I'd either
want to just do as a quick stop to have landed there, or as
a short overnight (like to see the beach or something local
and then head out the next day).
The goal is to see D.C. and hit some of the states we haven't
landed in yet, and get the best scenery we can. Somehow
if I could shoehorn a landing in New York, that would be
cool too.
If you have any favorite airports, places with great FBO's,
cheap gas, convenient tiedowns, and/or cool sights to see
in the area, let me know where to go in that state. I'll
probably only stop at one airport per state, but if I
can build a nice circle trip, I'll be happy.
Thanks in advance!
Tim

Tim, if you have not landed at First Flight Airport (FFA) in KittyHawk, NC,
that should be on your list. Cool entry in the logbook. You can walk from
the airport to the site where the Wright Brothers flew in 1903. However,
you cannot stay overnight. So you should then fly on down the Outer Banks,
past the beautiful Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
And then on down to Ocracoke Island (W95). There are several Bed &
Breakfasts and nice restaurants on the island and they will send a courtesy
car to the airport to pick you up. No bridges to the island, so flying or
ferry are the only ways to get there.
Once you leave there, head to Carthage, NC (5NC3) and eat lunch at the Pik N
Pig restaurant right on the field. Best barbeque I've ever eaten anywhere,
and I grew up in west Tennessee where barbeque is practically a religion.
If you go to the Pik n Pig, let me know. There are several RV-10 builders
in the area and we like to eat there. Maybe we'll fly down and meet you.
Note that the restaurant is closed on Mondays, and the airport is not
lighted.
