    Default Vixen Flaperon Update and Another Flaperon Question

    31.5 hours, 1 quart of stripper and a bunch of plastic razor blades later, my flaperons are free of the protective plastic!

    They're in really good shape but a close inspection leads to another question - on the left flaperon the trailing edge is a tiny bit uneven. The trailing edge of the underside protrudes 3/32" at the root. The difference diminishes towards the tip - at the 2/3rds point (from the root to the tip) the edges line up.

    I'm inclined to trim this off and make the trailing edges even along the span- opinions?

    Thanks for your help! Pic of one of the stripped flaperons attached.
