Overall I was looking for a quick & easy manufactured part. I agree I could fabricate but if I don't have to .... I truly believe the flaps will make an improvement to the performance particularly landing speed & stability. This is my idea and not a kit option. f8F should really rip with an OS 50sx & 52" span. It's an older kit with a lot of wood blocks, even the cowl is wood.
