Hi Ron, and all,
I've loaded two photos in 204, Rebel flaperons, of the fairings fitted
to the yellow and black radial engined rebel built in Canada and now
residing near me in OZ. My apologies for their size, I'm working on that.
As can be seen, the top section finishes below the top wing skin and the
bottom section extends forward of the flaperon horns. Top and bottom are
not joined at the front on this plane.
It looks very neatly done and I'll use some of it in 818,but I wonder
if the two "fingers" extending forward from the flaperon horns are needed?
The second pic also shows a doubler around the slot in the bottom wing
skin for the torque tube horn, something I've seen on some other rebels.
One side of which is supported by a wing rib. Is this doubler useful or
necessary?
Hope this helps, any comments (including anything about photo size)
will be much appreciated.
Cheers Mike
