RE: What parts did you use to build your CMP P-51 140? (Build thread)
Started to look at a scale flap installation tonight. Its going to be more work than I thought....I got the cart a little before the horse and had to reopen the bottom of the wing. Need to install some braces between the trailing edge and the bottom of the top side of the wing. I'm going to remove some material to make way for the lengthened flap so some balsa has to go. As I'm making this up as I go, sometimes I have to backtrack. My goal is to have the pivot point be within the trailing edge of the wing and not in the leading edge of the flap (if this makes sense) to look more like the real flap joint on an actual P-51. We'll see.
