Hi Bud. It sounds like you are progressing right along.
You might try taking poster board or similar material. Cut and fold until it fits what you have in mind. Lay the piece out flat and there you have it. A Bud Smith custom flap actuator cover pattern.
Take care.
Work has been interfering Randy. Seems like the fuselage has looked like this for 6 months. Still shopping for the engine and college tuition just won't go away.
