Fuel line/flaperon mixer clearance

E. D. Eliot

Well Known Member
Just installed my fuel lines as per the plans. I am a little concerned that the clearance between the bottom of the flaperon mixer and the top of the fuel return line is about 1/8".

Anyone withe similar concerns? Is this ok as is? Your council and advice is welcome. Thanks.
 
Here is what I found in my build log:

28-06 Step 10

I was not happy with the flap handle assembly in the forward position striking the fuel return line even after being captured in the system blocks. I use the bending tool to put a definite and gentle four bend downward detour between the flap handle in the forward forward position and the bottom skin of the airplane, leaving a safety margin on both sides of the fuel return line.
