Your talking of the ''C'' shape false spar, behind the wing??? I not that good in english being a french canadian....
I did the false spar like this because I had only acces to C shape ribs at a really good price. And I'm sure it was easier building the wings like this. I did pay attention leaving just a little gap for the flap aera (with hinges fabrication), so maybe no gap seal for the flaps. My aileron and flap ribs being different, little longer flap chord, little more gap for the ailerons, I hope it will make a nice flying wing.
Never understood the purpuse for differente shape between the 2 false spar anyway.....
I asked the question before:
I hope I did not make a mistake..?? Too late anyway....
Look through Christian's photos (Bugs66) and you will see his flap cove is the same. He seems to get around alright.......
I think the Piper style flap cove is to allow the flap to perform more as a slotted flap.
