Default RE: Skyshark RC TBM Avenger

The flap control rods go through the trailing edge plate. Make the control rods per the plans and carve or drill and carve a hole where the rods will exit. No real finesse here as they will be covered by the leading edge of the flap. I hinged the flap as shown using the teflon hinge material. I suppose you could use robart hinges and drill at an angle such as the topflight kits do, but you would have to cut the wing side flange very short so it would not interfer with the control rods. The flap is hinged at 1/8th inch from the bottom of the wing edge as that is where the hing attaches to the plywood flap (1/8th inch ply) It looked sort of flimsey but seems to be very tight even befor CA is applied
