I guess I am missing a picture that I took which is why I did not type these details into the thread. I placed a small bead of goop on the tie wrap and strut in two locations. First location is the head of the tie wrap behind the gear door, and second is on the tie wrap and both sides of the brake line. Being 180 degrees apart, the tie wrap will not change position. The geometry works great with no interference but it is dependent on that tie wrap maintaining position. Marty look at the brake line from this view. It is much farther from the tire than it looked in the other photo. Since the brake line is fixed below, there is not enough slack to make it to the tire.

Dave. I measured by elevator and aileron throws at the tip joint as per the manual. Is that correct? I measured the flap travel on the side closest to the fuse.

Thanks, Guys!
Ok Dom. What about when the strut compresses? Is there slack created?
