 Hi Fred,

>From a fully assembled wing (de rigged from A/C), first detach OR5 (Flap drive
link) from FL 3 (Inner flap hinge arm), Then you can rotate the flap completely
round to rest on the top surface of the wing.
Then you can remove the aileron as if the flap was not there.

I hope this helps

Gentlemen,?

?


I'm wondering what the sequence is for attaching and detaching the 
ailerons and flaps once the aircraft is complete. Having trimmed the 
bolt embedded in the inboard end of the aileron and fitted the flaps 
(including the inboard extension), I can't for the life of me see how 
one can attach the aileron to the wing with the flap already installed. 
For that matter, it appears to me that an aileron cannot be detached 
---From the wing with the flap in place either in the retracted or 
deployed position.?

?


It appears that ailerons must be attached first, and then (and only 
then) the flaps can be attached in the deployed position.?

?


So my question is: If (for some reason) one would desire to detach an 
aileron from the wing, must the flap be detached first??

?


(That seems to be the case for me, and I'm wondering if this is SOP or 
if I've screwed up somewhere along the line.)?

?


Thanks for any comments from your experience,?
