My wing is raised 2.5 inches & 3.5 inches back from thevertical. ( 0-200 up front ). The center section hinged trailing edge (Bernard called it a flop ) dimensions are: 3 ft 8.25 inches X 12 inches.The flop extends one bay into the left wing. The flop is attached via apiano hinge to a false spar.Mike ( Piet ( N 687 MB )________________________________________________________________________________
