I know this builder who has checked his flap settings and one flap is not quite the same as the other...it doesnt raise as high as the other.. Its off by about 2 degrees.....
"If" I were to talk to him about adjusting them to have each exactly the same, what would I say ??

I would tell him he needs to re-drill his actuator rod that runs thru the plane. It sounds like he has one that needs to be rotated slightly and then re- drill the rod in a different place. It helps if he has a couple of people to help and hold the flaps all the way up. I drill it and put in a cleco then check it before I commit to the final bolt hole.

Have him check the alignment of the Flap control rod, remember it is three pieces that need to be drilled correctly, (the one where most of us tend to F--k up on, me included)
secondly check the alignment of the nylon bushings flap stop, are they 5mm both?
Check that at full up both flaps loct at thhe same setting.

might be wise to replace the rod completely to eliminate the chance of the double hole biting later.

I thank you all for your thoughts on the misalignment. Its an easy fix.
Its just that in my QBK all the hole were drilled by Zenith. It all justed
bolted together and looked good. Good til I started measuring things....
There is pleanty of tubing area that I can redrill and no need to purchase a
new torque tube.....

No because you can go 90 degrees of the first hole.
