Got some time today to get down to business with some sand paper! Was an awesome day, with several WW2 and Korean War aircraft regularly buzzing my house while the nearby airport hosted an air show.

Here's one shot of a DC2 passing directly overhead!

I really liked having so much room out on the deck in the fresh air to do the pre-glassing sanding.

One thing that is bothering me a little... take a look at the port flap... the upper skin has slightly warped away from the flap edge. I used 1/8" x 1" basswood (rather than balsa) at the trailing edge, but it seems to have warped a tiny bit. I'm thinking that I'll need some way to stiffen it and straighten it begore glassin0.? Anyone dealt with this before?

I'm wondering if some 1/64" ply strips under the trailing edge, where the flap will close over them, or should I do some glassing under the trailing edge and clamp the edge to teh flap to cure straight...
