| Subject: | Flap Stop Importance ??? |
In order to ensure accurate results, all tests were carried out on two different
Zodiac aircraft. The significance of the flap stops called-for as part of the
regular design was confirmed. The aircraft which did not at first have these
installed showed less satisfactory results than Zenair's own standard demo plane
(with stops) which was one of the tested planes. Zenair will be issuing a
Service Letter very shortly calling for owners/pilots to check their flap stops
(and to install them prior to further flight operations if these have not been
previously fitted). I wonder what they mean by LESS SATISFACTORY RESULTS WITHOUT
THE STOPS??????? Cheers

Hi Bob,
If you do cut off to much metal on the inboard end of a wing, it is
easy to add a strip from the last rib to the final position you
want. Actually, this is a lot easier than cutting the existing skin
since you can fit a template to the fuselage (I like styrene plastic
sheet for this) and later position it to drill for the rivet line on
the inboard rib.
If you make a nice edge to the "Fairing" it looks like you planned it
all along.

Bob,
>From the fattest part of the bottom of the wing at the bottom of the tip plate
is approximately 4' - 5".? Geive me a couple of hours and I'll send you a narrative
of how I did it along with a drawing and photo.
