Construction
3. Install the clevis on the control
horn and verify the fit. The con-
trol horn should be positioned so
that the clevis rests on the leading
edge of the flap and the control
horn is resting on the flap. Once
the control horn fists in the
proper position, epoxy the control
horn into the flap.
4. Reinstall the wing and mark
the end of each flap remembering
to allow approximately 1/16"
clearance.
5. Temporarily set the flaps into
position and transfer the mark
from the wing to the fuselage.

6. Use a combination square to
mark a line and cut each flap to
length.
7. Install the gap seal tape on
each flap or at this time install the
plastic gap seal strips on each
flap. Use the information below
to help you decide which one to
use.
Gap Seal Tape
Advantages (easier to install, eas-
ier to replace if needed, more
aerodynamic)
Disadvantages (cannot lower
flaps to 90°)
Plastic Gap Seal Strip
Basically just the opposite of
above.
