Question about the aileron rigging and what is normal.
First: On page 23-9 I have attached the flaps and let them but up
against the W-1007 rear spar doubler plate. The ailerons then match up
perfectly with the ends of the flaps. However, when I sight down the
airfoil profile, it looks like the flap is a couple of degrees Up. Is
this the normal starting place? Won't that make fitting the wingtip
fiberglass a lot more fun?
Second: kudos to the guys at trutrack. I ended up with the wrong
brackets for installing the roll servo and they sent the correct ones
out gratis.

I think that is correct.....3 degrees reflex for the flaps and Aileron.

Fred,
The full-up position of the flaps on the RV-10 is -3 degrees,
the "reflex" position. If you get the flap position system, your
first click of flaps down gives you 0 (zero) degrees. So
what you're seeing is by design.

Tim - So with the stick in the neutral position the aileron trailing edges
should be lined up with the flap trailing edges when the flaps are in the
"0" position? Still doing some minor rigging.

I think it should be in the reflex position -3 degrees. But I am not to
that step and will be looking forward to Tim's answer.

I think that's how I lined mine up. That way when in cruise
you have everything lined up, in theory. In practice,
I think there is some loading on the ailerons that
maybe changes the alignment a bit. I didn't want my ailerons
to be drooped below the fully retracted flaps though, to get
the least drag. It's been a looong time since I aligned mine
now, so don't take it as gospel truth, but I think that's
how it is.

I think that was Tim's reply. The aileron trailing edges should line up
with the flaps in the -3 reflex position.

Tim/Rene' Thanks.
As with most things if one follows the directions it works out. It just
didn't look quite right. And, I wish in the next revision Vans would
add a comment to that effect in the plans.
Fred.

With the flaps in the -3 or full up position the ailerons should be aligned with the flap. You can tell if they are all the way up because they should bottom out on the rear spar doubler. I know because I flew to Oshkosh with them aligned in the 0 deg position and lost about 6 mph of top speed. Randy 40006
