I have a concave bow cordwise in the flaps all the way across the span except for the ends. This bow amounts to about 1/8 to 3/16", deepest at about 2/3rds the way back from the flap leading edge. My question is. Have the other builders builders experienced the same thing ? And if so , have you just left it that way or filled it with micro or superfill ? I hate to add the weight of the filler but I also want it to look right.
