While on the subject of the outer flap hinge, given its location, my
thoughts were it might be advantageous to turn that hinge faring into a
"fence" to help reduce spanwise flow.
What say yee gentlemen to that. Or is it a lot of work for no real gain

Exactly the two things I thought would be of interest to you and why I
