Default WHAT DO I DO WITH WING EXTENSIONS

I have made some wing exteinsions for a DELTA.

I also changed the "angle of attack" for the extension by about 4 - 5 degrees plus, I added an additional length to the leading edge by about 2 inches.

Q) What is made (if anything) to "cover" the small seam (from leading edge to the trailing edge)?

also

Q) Is there a "flange" (of sorts) to apply to the small leading edge extention.

I don't know if these flanges are functional on full size aircraft of whether they are there for a high visibility "change"

This is in mid wing where the angle of attack changes.

Take a look at the leading edge of the AVRO ARROW CF105. This is a perfect description of the angle of attack change.

I think we're going to need to see a drawing or pic of what you've done to make sure you get the best answer to all this.
