-8 Flap question

Couple of questions on the flaps...

the FL-406A,B,C reinforcements - are there any specific dimensions for these anywhere except what is buried in some of the drawings? It is difficult to pull out the dimensions with all of the other measurements.

Also, is FL-406B (the plate) in the kit (can't find it on the list) or is it to be fabricated from the 0.125 sheet (AS3-125x4x12). I hate to cut the sheet if it is needed for something else...

The -8 flaps are significantly different (at least in this area) than those on the -7 web sites I've seen.

-8 flaps (allegedly the "easiest control surface to build :) )
 
Hi Thomas,
I had the same head scratchin time :) you have to pull the dimensions from the root end view on DWG14A, and yes you do have to make it from .125 2024-T3 sheet that is supplied in the kit. Don't worry once you figure it out it really is easy :D
