Date:  10-25-2009
Number of Hours:  2.00
Manual Reference:  8-75
Brief Description:  Installed the flaps

Installed both flaps on the wings and trimmed the inboard top skins to clear the fuselage.

With the flaps trailing edge aligned to the neutral aileron there is a +/- 1/2" gap between the fuselage bottom skin and the trailing edge of the flap.

A quick search on VAF revealed that this is a common issue on the RV-8. The third image shows how Randy Lervold (www.rv-8.com) solved this problem and we'll probably do the same.
