Hi there,

When I bought my Europa Classic two years ago it was "delivered" without the flap root extensions fitted.
The baby flies smoothly, while I suspect some undesirable drag generated by the gaps between flaps and fuselage, not talking about the fact it is unaesthetic.
In the bunch of materials and parts inherited from the previous owner I found the relevant foam cores, and I think it's time to correct this and retrofit the extensions. Busy winter ahead !
The manual is not so clear about the process and any advice or pictures will be therefore warmly welcome.

some pix for you to look at. You should also look at Justin Kennedy's
and Fred Klein's design. Very nice
