Installed the flaperons today only to find that I have interference issues when trying to add flaps or when trying to fold the wings.

It almost behaves like the flaperons are too far back and down. Leading edge will hit the fuselage tubing when trying to fold and; the main push-pull rods that connect to the bell crank of the flaperons hit the fuselage tubing at any reasonable deflection or when pulling in flaps.

I cant find anything specific on this dimension. Anyone else run across this issue? If I try to use flaps the rods will bind against the fuselage, forget any aileron movement at that point for sure. Locks up solid. Same on both side of the plane.

I did not do the initial install so unfortunately only have the old manual to go by. Seems like there was a pre-placed pilot hole that must have been used.

Angle of hinge mount (50 degrees) and positin of flaperon bell crank (1+11/16 from bottom flap edge)have been verified.

Do you guys see anything obvious?
