I'm in the process of rigging the ailerons, etc.  In the process of setting the ailerons, you have to set the flap first. 



In the process of setting the flap, I noticed that I have interference between the inboard section of the flap and the fuselage side skin.  (Photo attached)



Obviously I'm going to have to file down the edge of the flap to be able to get the full range of motion without interference.  



However, my question is 'how much'?  



When the flaps are fully retracted. (Inboard nose of the flap solidly against the rear spar doubler, how much of a gap do you have exposed to the naked eye?   



Thanks,

Phil

Yep - file as needed.  You don't need much clearance, say 1/16" or so.  That

way it will still clear after paint.

It doesn't need to be much. Just enough to allow you to paint and still have clearance. I would leave 3/16 before paint.

Phil, I filed off more than an 1/8" from both flaps and am glad I did.  Once the paint goes on your gap narrows.  I was also concerned with a little sideways movement of the flaps and their hinge supports too, so as I said, I had an 1/8" (before paint).
