I swear these parts went in BEFORE the plane was made. Anyway, the 2 bolts where the bracket attaches through the fuselage had been pulled completely through the honeycomb. The bracket itself was torn to all but maybe 1/8 inch. The bulkhead where it attaches under the seat was torn about 2 inches. After I got it back together, I measured the flap up and down limits. The up limit, with a load on the flap, is +1/2 degree. It sits at about -1/2 degree static. The down limit, static, is near 49 degrees. 48 1/2 or there abouts. With a load, it almost meets the maximum of 47 degrees down. Is there a "good" way to set the down limit? I'm sure it contributed to the failure in this area. Of course, the owner stepping on the flap hard enough to permanently force it down and then pulling it back into position probably didn't help.
