Thought I would immediately be flying IFR ... I don't have my ticket. I also
put the VOR /GS antenna in the wingtip which does not pick up very well. If
I get my ticket I will have to make changes in antennas , etc. ....

On page 7-11 of the Construction Manual
It says to insert the flap hinge pin through a hole
in the inboard aileron mount (W-813)
I have trouble with this,because the aileron
mount (A-407) hits the hinge pin.Preventing full
travel of the aileron.
This is worse on one side than the other.
I can still insert the hinge pin,but will have to cut it
off at the hinge ,and then use a safety wire to hold it
in place.

Hi,
I thought mine would hit too, but it doesn't, it comes
real close. Have you put on the aileron stops to limit
the travel yet? It could be once you have done this,
then it won't hit.

You're supposed to drill a hole in the inboard aileron mount that is
slightly off-center of the hinge line (mine is about 1/4"), and when the
hinge wire is all the way in BEYOND the aileron hinge, it retains it so it
won't come back out.
I can send you some pictures if you want, but it would be a few days before
I can get them for you.

Well,
The best solution that I've seen is to not even fiddle with the aileron
mount at all. Simply remove an eye in the middle of the hinge, put two
small loops on the end of the now 2 segments of flap hinge rod and safety
them together. No fiddling with aileron hing brackets, no mess trying to
safety the thing at the end, etc..
This is the way I've seen a lot of these done (including both my RV's) and
it's really slick. It's also pretty easy and fast to remove two shorter
hinge pins than one long one through the aileron bracket.
Just my 2 cents!
Cheers,
Stein Bruch
