wing and flaps

 Below is the manometer setup to compare left and right wing incidence and flap setting. I think everything is within 0.2 degrees. Not bad for a airborne tractor.


I initially set the flaps angle with a digital degree meter. But I ended up measuring the space between the rear edge of the wing skin to the flap’s rivet and set both sides equal. Then I used the manometer to measure the incidence of both wings, from leading edge to rear edge of flap, and they are within 1/8” . I think that will be OK; I don't fly straight anyways.
