Flaps (cont)

Final item for the night:
I cut the rib to separate the flap from the wing (prior to installing the wings, most of the rib was cut save about a 1/4" as aircraft ply is difficult to cut manually). The hinges are performing as expected.
With the flap cut I can now measure the shortest distance with the flaps down and the servo arm horizontally pointing to the rear. It appears to be about 1.5" (plus 1" for connecting to the ball sockets).
Tomorrow, I'll cut four control rods all exactly the same length to get equal movement of all flaps (hopefully!).

(seem to be getting a lot more of those '500' picture posting errors, also)
