Bob,
Hi from Sydney, and the return of a disgruntled, lost in the wilderness fellow
builder. well I hope I am back for a while, time will tell. We seem to be at
similar stages. Why are you extending the flap closeout, or at least the wing
trailing edge in proximity of the flap? You've lost me as to why you need it.
Where exactly are you extending?

P.S. first trailing edge skin done a couple of days ago and cut away the
trailing edge to expose the flap closeout area. The next remaining underside
skin will be done next week after work commitments, and as soon as I can con
someone into helping me. Not a hard job though. I think in fact I could do it
myself, but it would probably take a few hours, maybe as much as 4-5.
