Hello all,
I just noticed a new update for the photo guide, surprisingly dated 3/12/07. These guys at ZAC are ahead of their time in so many ways!
The update is for 6-W-1 "Wings: Flaps."
Since I recently asked the list a question about placement of the control plate (6W1-3), I was interested to see that they now suggest that we not install the plate until the wing is bolted on the fuselage.

I just finished cortecing my flaps yesterday, and will rivet tonight.
The new doc is a lot better than the old one. It would have helped me. I really like the way they do the piano hinge. The part about starting drilling from the trailing edge is different too - the old way was "front - bottom - top". I built mine on steel rails, so I wonder if it'll make a difference?
Note the photo where they have their control plate installed wrong, next to their suggestion of waiting until the wing is bolted to the fuselage. I can really appreciate the subtle humor there. 
My control plate is oriented correctly - per the drawings, but there's no way of knowing how far off I am until I get a fuselage. I only drilled the rivet holes and the center hole (not a slot) so hopefully I have enough leeway there.
I'm glad they are updating their doc's. I'm happy with how it's all going so far.

I have already drilled and cut the flap plates to the location and dimensions on the drawing. Does anybody who already fitted the flaps and flap controls have any comments on the issues they had here? I am guessing that their input to ZAC led to this change. Should I go ahead and buy some more nylon material before I get to this point and find it doesn't fit right? Just wondering.
Thanks

Thanks for the update Larry,
David Gallagher, I'm in the same position as you. I plan on drilling the pin hole in the control arm after fitting the wing/flaps. That should make it all line up.
