Aileron / flap corner drag ?

Hi Bill

The Ventus has one break in the aileron where the trailing edge taper
changes and there is a different hingeline. The chordwise gap betweeen the
two aileron sections is closed off with fabric type tape. The two
'ailerons'
move at the same rate but its made in two pieces I think because of its
length and the differing hingelines.

Ah... OK. Thanks, Ian. I was thinking of the Nimbus wing where the flap
sections and ailerons all move down, but at different rates. That leaves
places along the TE where vortices can form as air escapes between the ends
of the flap/aileron sections. I can't think of anything to do about that.
