So I am setting up the assembly for the control horn. I have a question about the distance from the flaperon hinge and the control horn, The instructions show 4-3/4 inch from the center of the flaperon hinge to the flaperon horn but is the 4-3/4 to the center of the inboard horn flange or center of the horn arm? It looks like the flange but I'm not sure.

Not clear on what parts are what as I'm at work and not referencing the manual. I was confused and did this wrong. See the photo. I had measured to where the center of the rod end bearing would be. This is wrong. I had to weld these holes closed and pull the arm out further away from the flapperon. Hinge to closest edge of the arm. Embarrassed to show this but I got confused too. Hope that helps.

Thanks Eddie,

Just a few extra words in the instructions would be appreciated in critical parts. It would be so easy to just add 4-3/4 inch from center of inboard flange.
