Apologies to all. I should not have mentioned the word flap. I meant
aileron.
Karim began with wanting know the measurements from the flange to the
trailing edge of the flaps. I took this as the measurements across the side
of the aileron from the edge of the hinge flange to the trailing edge of the
aileron.
Like Karim I had a mis-match where the flap and aileron met. Thus I tacked a
bit more to the trailing edge of one aileron.
Confusion regretted; can't help substituting words sometimes!
