Hi All,
I read on a -10 post that the reflex position (-3 degrees) is when the flap is lined up with the bottom of the fuselage, is that true for the 14?
I've tried following the book and using the 7 degree offset to get the starting point, could never get less than 8 degrees before the flaps would bottom out on the spar. Called Vans, they said "that's fine, that's your starting point."
What are you guys using for your flap positions between -3 and 30?
Are you getting 30 or more?
If so, how much did you adjust your push rod from the plans?
Any insight into others' setup procedure here would be very much appreciated!
And finally ... All of my flap hinges are rubbing on one side or the other towards the top (quick build wings), is paint rubbing off here a normal accepted thing with an RV? (no frame of reference so not sure)
