First I would verify that you indeed have twist in the flap. Use a long straight
edge. If you do, depending on how bad, you can build a new flap, or live with
it and rig the ailerons as pointed out above. As stated above, the flap should
be even with the fuse on the retract position. You should not run the flap
down to attempt to match the two. The flap actuator mechanism is not designed
to carry the lift load at cruise speeds beyond the ~125kt limitation called
out in the installation manual. They need to to be nested in cruise.
I too had a heavy wing on the left side. Mine was due to the aileron hinge attach
bracket. My left leading edge inside bracket was 1/16" to high. I re-drilled
the holes in a new bracket and shifted them 1/16", re-installed and my wing
heavy is gone. It doesn't take much. This situation can be checked with a
straight edge also.
I also find that if you have as much as a 5 gallon fuel differential you will notice
a wing heavy.

Hi guys
I hate to ask this question but........ About a year ago I purchased a set
of 7 SS braided Teflon brake hoses from Bonaco. I can account for the
placement of 5, but the two 31.5" ones, I can't figure out where they go.
I suspect they're for running down the gear legs. Can anyone who has
bought the Bonaco hoses shed some light on my mystery hoses?
Thx, Rick

Just to add further to "checking for flap twist". A really easy and simple
way to check is to use "winding sticks". It's an old technique
woodworkers used. Search in google for the details.
