The thing with us ( kit builders ) is that we can easily replace a step with what we think is acceptable for us and that's the beauty of building an airplane made out of balsa and ply.
I too thought of hinging the flap hinges on an angle but ( for me ) I don't see the need to modified that step at this time.
If you decide to hinge the flap with the hinges on an angle I like to suggest you make yourself an angle tool made out of ply and a small piece of brass tube to guide the drill at the same angle on every hole you will be making.
You are so right about being "the builder", thats why I like to build also.
Making an angle gauge for drilling is a great idea! Although I'm having second thoughts now on that, may just do it as per plan.
Carlos I see on a post farther back that you had to change the location of the 1/2" wing dowel hole on the fore fuse bulkhead. I am fitting my wing today to the cradle and it looks like I have to do the same thing. Are you able to post some pics of the front of your wing where the 1/2" dowel protrudes? I would like to see how it supposed to look with W-J2, and WJ-2A installed. Something doesn't jive with the Wing/sadle fitment near the front bulkhead.
Thanks again!
