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. -------- Bill WA0SYV Aviation Partners, LLC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=393127#393127 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:38:17 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Bonaco hoses From: Rick Lark 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?

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.
