Could anybody who has filled their aileron closeouts and outboard end of

flap closeouts please advise of the method you adopted.



Did you :-



a) Fill with foam and lay-up a couple of plies of BID with flox corners

?



b) Fill with dry mixture of Q-Cell (Micro) or Expancel ?



c)  Other ?



TIA

I did ithe inside end of the flaps by putting a little flox around the 

inside edge and adding a single (I think) ply of bid.

Kingsley,

It's been a while but as I recall I filled mine with foam. The kind 

from ACS. Did the flox corners and two plies of bid. Your (A) answer is 

correct in my book.

Kingsley,



I used your alt. a) (but with one ply of bid) - see attached sketch.



I note with interest that you intend to fill only the outboard end of flap 

closeouts, not the inboard.  I did the same - only the outboard ones, not 

because of weight saving but because Neville while still at EA2004 told me 

that filling the inboard ones had shown to increase the amount of exhaust 

fumes getting into the flap drive slot in the fuselage sides.  The unfilled 

closeout creates more turbulence, which evidently is good here (I am just 

passing on my recollection, I may have got it wrong and cannot argue pro or 

con, but as in all things Europa, I have always followed Neville's 

recommendations).



I'm prejudiced, of course, but I think the filled closeouts look really nice 

(less homemade, kind of).



Regards,

Svein
