Nov 15, 2009 #2,187 Wurger Siggy Master Staff Admin Mod 112,825 30,779 Jun 19, 2005 Poland OK. I see that. That's way I have said these holes had to be drilled farther down.But now try to push the flap closer to the wing edge and set it more open .You know P-40 flsps were opening like the crocodile jaws down.

Nov 15, 2009 Thread starter #2,188 B-17engineer Colonel 14,949 65 Dec 9, 2007 Revis Island. A little open or quite a big opening for the flaps?
Nov 15, 2009 #2,189 Wurger Siggy Master Staff Admin Mod 112,825 30,779 Jun 19, 2005 Poland It's up to you how much you want to have them opened. But I think you can open them a little bit more than in the pic above.

Nov 15, 2009 #2,191 Wurger Siggy Master Staff Admin Mod 112,825 30,779 Jun 19, 2005 Poland OK. Do that.

Nov 15, 2009 #2,193 Wurger Siggy Master Staff Admin Mod 112,825 30,779 Jun 19, 2005 Poland Looking good. But open it much more.Try to show the inner surface of the flap.
Nov 15, 2009 Thread starter #2,194 B-17engineer Colonel 14,949 65 Dec 9, 2007 Revis Island. When I moved the flap one of the wires broke and is stuck in the drill hole. Dammit.
Nov 15, 2009 #2,195 Wurger Siggy Master Staff Admin Mod 112,825 30,779 Jun 19, 2005 Poland So take the flap off, re-glue the wire.
Nov 15, 2009 Thread starter #2,196 B-17engineer Colonel 14,949 65 Dec 9, 2007 Revis Island. No like some of the wire is stuck in the drilled hole I can't get it out.
Nov 15, 2009 #2,197 Wurger Siggy Master Staff Admin Mod 112,825 30,779 Jun 19, 2005 Poland So you have to remove the wire fully.Clean the drilled hole.And re-do it again
