Placed flaps in "retracted" position and a helper held the left flaperon trailing edge in line with tip trailing edge (in trail) position.
It was verified that the right flaperon trailing edge was 1/4 inch [6.3mm] to 1/2 inch [12.6 mm] below trail position. When a 10lb [4.5kg] upward load was applied to the trailing edge of the right flaperon, the trailing edge does not flex above trail position more than 1/2 inch [12.6 mm]. The results was 5/16".
The stick was moved full aft and held it against the aft stop while moving the stick left stop-to-right stop. There are a smooth operation, no interference or binding, and a minimum of 1/8 inch [3.17mm] gap between each flaperon (top and bottom skins) and the fuselage skin when the flaperon is deflected to its highest trailing edge up position. The stick was moved full forward and held against the forward stop while moving the stick left stop-toright stop. There are a smooth operation, no interference or binding, and a minimum of 1/8 inch [3.17mm] gap between the flaperon and the fuselage skin when the flaperon was deflected to its highest up position.
Flaps were put on "50%" position The stick was moved full aft and held against the aft stop while moving the stick left stop-to-right stop.Verified there was a smooth operation, no interference or binding. The stick was moved full forward and held against the forward stop while moving the stick from left stopto-right stop. Verified a smooth operation with no interference or binding. The flaps were placed in "full" position. The stick was moved full aft and held against the aft stop while moving the stick from left stop-to-right stop. Verified a smooth operation, no interference or binding. The stick was moved full forward and hold against the forward stop while moving the stick from left stop to right stop, no interferences were found.
