Hi! Ken.
Mine were a bit stiff early on, but have got better with repetitive
rigging/derigging.
When I put the flap extensions on at the inboard end I incorporated a
tapered/'funnel' and a complete closeout to snuggle up to the fuselage when
neutral, to guide the flap drive tube into place onto the spherical
bearing. With this it is possible to give the wing a good sharp push and be
sure that the pin and bearing are in line to mate together.

Subject: getting wings on
Does anyone else have problems getting the wings on? I am exhausted from an
hour of struggling with the wings. Plane is close to flying, has been
taxied several times and all seems fine. One problem with the wings seems
to be the flap pin and the swivel bearing. It looks like it should just go
right in but it does not without much jiggling and fiddling. Even when the
flap pin engages, the wings are resistant to the last 3/4 inch. Has anyone
changed the flap pin system to something that works? Am I the only one with
this problem?
