I used this method, adjusted the hinge point with a T-pin and measured as the flap went through its arc. Some were too close, some were too far.....and some were juuuust right.

Back in this thread about 4-6 months ago I went thru the same process designing new rip templates for the new wing for my SR. But you know life interruptus. Had to move cross country.
I did get the templates made. I am back building some. Maybe in a couple of months or so. But then again I am going to have to move again pretty soon.
So there are other priorities first.
But I really do look forward to the time when I can build my stretch low wing modification.
I will hunt later for my drawings and templates. I did not take any pictures of the process of arrive at hing points, I used cardbstock cut outs and a t pin also. It may be far from optimal, but should be good enough.
