Spent a few hours over the weekend adding the connecting slides between each group of 3 cowl flaps. I considered what boB did (a great reference) but went the route I was more familiar with (on my Corsair).


The #2 flap got this piece attached that adds side wings that will slide into flaps #1 and #3.




Here is an example of the slide pockets. I used left over pieces from the flaps to act as the spacer.
The original flaps pieces were cut and used as the top piece. It's important to have the right orientation/curvature of these parts.




On the bottom edge of flap #3, this lip was added (here the flap is closed)


Flap is shown open.




On the top side, I'll need to make a really small layup to get a piece that conforms to the curve on the inside.
