Brief Description:  CAD drawing

Did some more design work on my modified version of the flap detent angle, F08-08. After checking with other builders on the Yahoo Sonex groups if my 3-flap position modification was ok, numerous builders pointed out that it's a good idea to also put "safety nibs" on each position to prevent the flap handle from coming out of the selected position, regardless of whether you stick with the std 0-10-30 configuration or a 0-10-20-30 configuration. So here's my design with "safety nibs". I also drew the pivot angles for the idler assembly in AutoCAD, F10-18R/L, the next piece I will work on. The reason I make these CAD drawings beforehand is that I plan to print, these, cut them out and spray glue them on the angle to define my cut lines and drill positions, rather than draw them directly on the angle (the spray glue easily comes off with warm water afterwards). I only plan to do this for the more complex shapes, for those I think this technique is easier and a more accurate, off course for the simple pieces this is a bit of an overkill.
