Flatiron lock up

I purchased a 701 and am working on the condition inspection.The builder installed electric flaps, but either there is no UP limit switch or it is incorrectly set. If I hold the switch up, the top bellcranks (?) will lock flat against the top of the fuselage. Correct, no aileron action at all. I'm not sure where to begin adjusting this.Any help out there?See More
