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.

I can send you some pictures if you want, but it would be a few days before I can get them for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "GEORGE INMAN" Subject: RV8-List: Fap hinge pin obstructs aileron bracket > --> RV8-List message posted by: "GEORGE INMAN" > > 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. > > > GEORGE H.

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!
