Default Spitfire split flap mods

hi, i am trying to find pics / examples for split flaps mods on a foam/skinned wing

a have the basic concept down: lithoplate/lite ply& some ribs

just wondering about the options for the controls:

1- typical torque rod(s)- don't know how to deal with the angle change (flaps hinge line) relative to the mid section of the wing (sweep forward&dihedrall)

2- using a servo/pushrod in each wing under the "radiators"- am not sure the best way to attach the radiators to make them removable (and still look scale)

i have seen (here on RCU) some pics for the 2nd option on a Y/A spit build thread- but did a search and can't locate it anymore. any pics (for the 1st or 2nd option) would help

THANX in advance for advice, Vasek
