|
|
Hi All,
I did a test fit of wings on my 601 XL QB this weekend and have some
problems with the flaps.
1. The slot in the end rib of the flaps seems to have been cut at the
wrong location. According to my plans it should be 40mm from the top and
80 mm from the side of the rib. On my flaps both slots are centered on
90 mm from the edge of the rib. Of course with this the flap doesn't fit
well when engaged with the flap torque tube. I checked the dimensions on
the torque tube ends and they do match the plans.
2. It also seems like the flap hinge that fits into the wing skin was
drilled a bit too far to the inboard sides by approx 1/16 of an inch or
so. As a result the edge of the flap sticks out a bit beyond the edge of
the wing and it hits the flap torque tube.
Anyone else have these problems with their QB flaps ?
I suspect the factory in Columbia just test fit the flaps without the
torque tubes and it fit fine then but it seems like both items are done
wrong ?
Thanks,
John Davis

I suppose you could always make a new end rib for it.
