Default RE: Split Flaps Construction Issue:

GoNavy!
Both were kitted for split flaps.

The zero was built for moch combat with my son so it was built stockand monokoted to allow for easy repairs. In the first season of combat this plane showed it needed strengthening in meny areas to handle the stress. At some point the center section needed replacement so I band sawed it apart and put a new crossection with the 1/64 ply like on the FW and the centersection has held up very well. But the outboard flap sections still look like lezonia.

I've included some pic's that kinda show the warp.
