... but no flaps connected yet!
This is the fruit of yesterday and today's labor:
The funny thing is that in the Allegro that I fly, the trim is manual and the flaps controlled by an electric motor while on the R-12 it's just the opposite. While I like the direct manual control of the flaps in the RV-12, I don't like the electric trim. In the Allegro, the position of the trim button tells you where your trim tab is set, an information that you don't have in the RV-12.
Also worked a bit on the rest of page 32-08:
As I was working on the torque tube spacers, I found bizarre that I had to drill #12 a hole in which an LP4-3 was supposed to go (usually we drill #30 for LP4-3). I did a search on VAF forum and, sure enough, the issue had been raised ... two years ago by John Peck. The answer made sense: the rivet is just a temporary holder as the spacers are glued to the torque tube.
