Default RE: Su-27 L.E. flaps

Some pics of the LE flaps mounted with full length piano hinge on the bottom. I use a laser level mounted on my camera tripod to check the surfaces. The light gives a very interesting flow over the surfaces and seems to 'flow' as one would expect air to move. I took these late in the evening to allow the light to be seen. Have my 3 mixers now to experiment with. The next step is working out the mechanical linkage.
