Has anyone filled these? Is this the general practice?
I am thinking that the “hollow” area of the close out should be filled with something light like blue foam.

I'm not sure if its general practice but I did it to both the flaps and ailerons. Makes for a neat end with a very clean gap and eliminates the eddies. I just tapped the flap end-on to the prepared foam to print the exact profile before cutting - easy.

Will,
FWIW, I did as Graham and filled the ends of the flaps, ailerons and closeouts with foam, lightweight filler & a layer of glass. Don't know that it does much aerodynamically, but I think it looks better.

That's what you need for one man rigging. Works too.

Hi! Will.
I actually included a tapered guide tube to receive the flap drive shaft so it engages on the drive pin when doing self assembly rigging
And I recall that I included some backing foam within the construction and arranged for the close out to fit close to the fuselage but it needs fairing into match the wing to fuselage radius when the flaps are in retracted position.
There is photo on the site which John Cliff runs.:- http://www.users.waitrose.com/~jcliff/BobH/FlapCov/Flapcovs.htm
