1.
With the flap selector lever in the neutral position, use a straight edge not less than 1 metre long.
Hold the straight edge flush on the underside of the wing aerofoil and adjust flap so that the
trailing edge of the flap sits on the straight edge and there is 4mm clearance between straight
edge and trailing edge of the wing.
2.
Adjust with the rod ends. Ensure that the lock nut is tight on the control ends and that the thread
is visible through the hole in the rod.
3.
Check for FULL DOWN travel using the Flap Rigging Template (Templates can be supplied by
Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd). Please note: There is only a requirement to check the down deflection
because it has the highest value in travel.
