Here's one more of the flap toppping and then installing the 1/4" brass contol/hinge.

I toyed with using a CF or alluminum tube instead of brass to save some weight behind the cg, but in the end decided to follow Dave's plan. I figured it was important since he clearly wrote "braised, not soldered" on the plan (and I don't have a mig welder). It will certainly be rugged! I'm using a high-torque HS-645MG Ultra Torque servo to activate the flaps:

Here's all the servos I'm using:
