Bankeost,

Hello, Yes that is a piece of very thin ply, that I glued to a piece of triangle stock! This plane is a ARF, so the trailing edge originally started off at a 15 degree angle. So I took piece of Triangle stock an ran it through my table saw at 30 degrees. I then removed the covering and glued the triangle stock and thing ply to the trailing edge, to get the new shape.

I'm still experiment with the the pivot point and making my hinges.

Thanks for the pictures and video, they answer a lot of my questions and give me new ideas on how to construct parts.


Tonights work! I got the shape sanded into the leading edge of the flaps. Took my time and made a pattern and traced it on the leading edge of the flaps and sanded to shape. Using Bankeost and pictures from the full-size Pilatus Porter, I'm going to use ply to make my hinges and glue them to end of each flap, with another hinge probably in the middle. So ply end caps on the flaps will have a bracket that will proturde down and receive the opposite hinge from the wing.
