For a change a question about building:
I just watched a video shot during one of the open days in 2008 where Gus demonstrates
a walk around. He mentions and shows a FLAP stop (not an aileron stop),
but I can't find that part on the drawings to save my life. Anybody has some
more info on this?

Hans,
The flap stop is a rectangular piece of nylon (1/8" x 90mm x 25mm) that is riveted
underneath to the overhang of the wing top skin. It restricts the upward movement
of the flap. In the flap up position, the nose of the flap should be tight
against this stop.? It is shown on Drawing 6-S-3.? It is actually called
"Flap Gap Stop".

Hans:
I flew my 601XL about 50 hours before I realized the flap stop was missing. One
of my flaps was loose and would wiggle during run-up but it never made a peep
during flight. I finally put the stops so the flaps came up against the little
nylon rectangle. It is a snap to install and only takes a few minutes.
Thanks for staying on the subject of building and flying the 601XL. I'm so sick
of the blah blah this list has become.

I have an early set of plans and I couldn't find it on my plans
either. In fact, I flew my plane for over two years and 150 hours
without them. When I realized they were supposed to be installed, I
simply drilled out three rivets in the upper trailing edge of the wing
at the outer end of the flap and installed two pieces of nylon. It
took about half an hour. Before I installed them, the outer end of the
flap would flex upward slightly in flight, but it never caused any big
problem. Now the outer end of the flaps make contact with the nylon
stop just before the flaps hit the up limit switch.
