AnonymousAA72 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Nice start Mark. I can't really tell from your photo - as the flap is all red BUT it should be aerofoil in section. By sticking the kits upper and lower parts together you will have a step - the lower part being larger than the upper part. I used plastic card to fill mine, and sanded that down. The Upper shorted span section is also aerofoil in section though thinner. (I looked at your photo's on here!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousAA72 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 yep thats what i did but not very well Did you shorten the chord of the lower section - to the same as the upper section, rather than extend the upper section to that of the lower section? Have alook at Iain's flaps (oo-er Mrs!) to see what I mean - he's extended his with plastic card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
