Default RV-6 Flap area

Anybody out there know the square foot area of one flap on the RV6?
I'm just doing some paper work at home, all my manuals and plans are at the hangar. Thanks.

Just went out and measured mine.
1294 sq. in. total.

OOPS; you said sq. ft. of one flap.
That would be closer to 4.5 sq. ft.

I only measured the starboard flap, but I'm pretty sure the port flap is close to the same.
