Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

Ken, When I said they interfered I ment that the rods rubbed as they went back and forth. With both arms in the same plane there is a lot of stufff in close proximity. The flap rods actually rode on top of the aileron servo arm just along side the aileron clevises. I shotened the flap servo arm and moved it closer to the servo tray. Hopefully this will clear up any fricton or binding. If I were doing this again I would move the flap bellcrank plates about 1 inch toward the trailing edge so the rods would fit away from the aileron rods IE. on the back side of the servo rather than on the forward side as it is now. I am sure it will work out the way I have it now. Let me pass on a hint for working with the clevises once the wing is covered. I use a bent screwdriver blade (offset type) to open the clevises . A sideways twist will pop them open so the can be removed from the servo arm if the need fine adjustment.

Thanks for getting back to me. I might like to look at the trays you mentioned if I ever need to rebuild or repair the plane.
