 That works for people using the web version of this list but many people access this list via email. I gather that the web sight tries to keep emails grouped based on the title but some email programs use different semantics in the reply heading that defeats  the forum logic.

Yes there is, John King designed a flap lock system that works very well! I 

made one for my plane. I can Fax you an actual diagram if you want.  Consist 

of a flat piece of metal cut with notches, a wood dowl, spring and nail and 

two adel clamps!

Anybody know where the notch flap mod is residing? I looked for it on 

Sportflight.com and couldn't find it. I know it's around.

Steve:

  Tighten the bolt (with the leather washers) that flap handle pivots on. I had the same experience and a couple cranks with the ratchet corrected in-flight flap slippage. As for a stop, I went low-tech with an Adel clamp strategically located on the fuselage tubing just above and behind the flap handle. Pull the flap handle up until you notice that roll control begins to become affected (about 20 degrees). Back the handle down slightly and tightly mount your Adel clamp just behind the handle (clamp's tang is on same side as handle). Voila! Your flaps now stop at 20 degrees. Takes 5 minutes and costs 20 cents.

Ray, could you possibly post that diagram to the photo share, or perhaps  sportflight? I also have a Mod.II with the same problem. Thanks.

It would be great if the diagram (with dimensions) could be posted somewhere. In the UK I fly my kitfox 2 on a microlight licence and the flap mod is mandatory, I have one fitted at the moment but its a real chunky affair. I'd love to change it for something sleek.
