ps u need to block the ends of the little triangular shapes the two extensions form so no air gets in <@

Nice repair job ;}

ps if the extension is in the middle of the surface u only need to remove the L shaped edges from the surfaces trailing edge to smooth transition. A little sanding should do the job

Thanks!

Regarding the 'little triangular shapes', were you refering to the V-trench gap at the joints of the aileron and elevator surfaces? What method do I use to cover them?

I had considered fiberglassing the extended trailing edges to form a smooth tapered end. However, with the influence of the KF airfoils, I am toying with the idea of having it the way it is now. Some research have shown that the steps create a 'laminar flow vortex'. Ive decided that I'll leave it as it is and only fiberglass it in the future if required.

Thank you for the suggestions!
