So far that has worked well. However, I installed my left Flap and adjusted the control rod to produce a 0-40 degree movement. I hooked it to the Flap actuator to produce these limits and everything was perfect. Now I have attached the right Flap and adjusted the control rod to align with the aileron. Unfortunately the Flap actuator produces a 41.8 degree movement. I can't see how to change this without customizing the Flap installation in some way. So, how much difference will 1.8 degree difference make in flight characteristics at full deployment. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do?
