 |

Hi,
In preparing to install the flaperon control tube and handle, I have been studying the plans (Page 17 of Firefly plans). This has me a little confused.
The plan states: “ Set-up the linkage with the flaperons in the normal trailing position behind the wing (flat along the bottom). The flaperon actuating handle should then be in the forward slot and the slider will be as far back as possible.”
The drawing goes on to show the handle in the lowest position and labeled as “Normal” with the full up position labeled as “Full Flaperon”. The drawing also shows the slider in the rearmost position, although it is not labeled to indicate if the flaps are normal or full.
To my mind, this is all backwards.
When the slider is in the rearmost position, the torque tube is in its most downward setting. Likewise, when the slider is in the most forward position, the torque tube is at the highest point.
Do the flaps get deployed by moving UP from the trailing position? Or is the drawing just the opposite of the way things work?
If the flaps deploy by moving down from the trailing position, that means the “normal” position of the handle is in the top slot and the full flaps position is in the bottom slot.
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Thanks,
Stuart
