The left side flap inboard trailing edge is almost dead on = aligning with the cove molding on the fuselage, and aligns with the aileron.=A0 = The problem is, I can not get the necessary 1/8 inch clearance=A0 across the = top with out creating a “flip up”, at the trailing edge of the upper = wing cover.=A0 This problem would be cured if I could somehow move the = inboard corner of the left flap aft about =BD inch like the other = side.

I don’t understand how this condition can exist since both = left and right sides are bolted with metal hardware to the rear spar.=A0 = Could the rear spar be crooked?=A0 I don’t see how it could be since the = outboard wings would not align if it was.

Thanks for considering this problem for = me.
