Default RE: Su-27 L.E. flaps

Yea, Dan, I'd love to see your idea. As you may have noticed, the plane is made in sections. In the 'fore' section, I'm balancing the wings in the wind to check balance. As many times as I've watched 'Ram-K', including freeze framing the DVD, the flaps- during landing are imperceptable as far as movement as flaperons. The elevons are working like crazy. I can only conclude the flaperons function only at hi speed maneuvers, and then seemingly very slight. I figured I would use piano hinge on the bottom edge and lithoplate skin to slide over the gap. That too is very hard to figure out in the FS.
