What a chore and a half! I'm wondering about the quality of my fit between the flap inboard edge and the wing fillet behind the rear spar. The flap upper surface seems to be convex while the corresponding fuselage fillet edge is straight. This means that with the flap trailing edge matched to the fuselage point, the flap surface seems to be proud of the fuselage surface further forward along the upper surface. (Sorry for the difficult description). Has anyone else noticed this problem? Also, is zero degrees of flap the same as "faired"? The manual talks about -5 degrees and I'm not clear if this means the flap is actually above the fuselage fillet. Related to this, can someone explain what reflex is?
