Nick,
I just forwarded to you the detailed proposal from Austin (before he talked to his inspectors) on info(at)flylightning.net. I was really excited to get this problem fixed and get the plane in the air and then I got hit with this bad news.
If the other parts (in the email I sent you) he proposes are needed, can you order them and send them to him and I of course will pay you for the parts?
I really want Austin to finish the job because Jim Lanning is ready to fly the hours off in Hagerstown and it would be a major headache at this point to take the plane elsewhere and find a new test pilot and a new repair facility, not to mention the hassle of moving the plane to a new facility. Can you talk to Austin about this? I could even sign a release of liability if necessary- anything to just finish this project up at this point. Thanks,
Charles

Charles,
I would assume that you are taking the roll out using flap
differential? If
you have to adjust the flaps more than say 1/8"
different from each other
than I would suggest putting a small fixed tab say 1"
by about 6" on one of
the ailerons. This is no different than seen on Cessna or
cirrus or
Columbia. A small aluminum tab that can be adjusted by a
slight bend will
fly the aileron in correct direction, this will be more
effective and will
not cause a large difference in the flaps during stalls. If
they need me to
send them direction on how to do it, or the piece of
aluminum and call it
from the factory I can.

Charles,
I just forwarded my response to Austin to you also. If he needs any of these
items in a "kit" than we can package it that way. What ever you need to help
get your bird going we can help.
