After you install the  wings and flaps, you hook up the flaps to the flap
actuator tube and cut away any skin that interferes with flap movement as it
goes up and down. That will give you the smallest hole possible. Afterward,
you cleanup/trim away more skin as required for adequate clearance in use.

Fellow builders,

I am preparing my bottom center fuselage skin for riveting and I am trying
to determine the cutout size for the flap pushrod.  I have had the side
skins on and I know there is a slot cut in the side skin for the flap
pushrod.  There is a 3/32 hole in bottom skin that lines up with this slot.
I believe this slot and hole are to joined/enlarged together to form the
slot for the pushrod, however I can't seem to find the proper reference in
the drawings or instructions.

If you can enlighten me I would appreciate it.

Paul

Hi Merens:
Leave this job to the final assembly. After the wings and flaps are in their place.
It 
will be easier to trim the smallest hole necessary.

Gents,

Thanks for the input on the flap pushrod cutout. I had thought that because of
the advanced nature of the kit Van's would have given more information on the
cutout.  I thought I was having a senior moment (not finding it in the plans or
instructions).
