beenie-- Yeah they don't operate quite like Fowlers in the classic sense, there is very little aft movement when they drop, but the technical specs list them as such. It's more of a slotted flap, there is a gap that opens when they deploy. Full scale 0-1's can go 60 degrees. The Vaillancourt plans only give 45 degrees, due to the way his linkage is set up. I plan to modify that to get the full 60, and will make the hinges from aluminum, where the kit has them in thin hobby ply (but scale appearing).

Yours is looking good, nice detail. Keep the thread going, MORE PIX!
