Subject: [rebel-builders] Moose Flap handle

During a recent visit from Bob P, it was suggested to move the flap handle
back from the position indicated in the manual. It does appear to be to far
forward causing you to have to lean forward to grasp, and also may cause leg
interference between stick and flap handle during hard right aileron control
with flaps partially actuated. If others have run into this problem and
corrected, I would be interested in knowing how far back you moved the flap
handle control. Thanks Bob J ( moose 226)

Hi Bob,

We moved our handle back. We sat in the pilot's seat and played around
till
we got the position that seemed best for us. I am 5'10" and my partner is
5'7". We are very pleased with the outcome. If I were to guess I would say
we moved it back about 3-4 inches. I think you need to play with position
till it feels right for you. We have no problem with the force needed to
lower the flaps.

There are pictures of our cabin sub floor systems, showing the flap
installation position etc. in the Moose archive files.

Look in the Electrical section for a few (Battery Ter Blocks Flap Han,
Center Sub Floor etc.) and there is one in the fuel system section.
By counting rivets from one part of the sub floor structure to the flap
handle brackets you probably can determine the position of ours.
