Brief Description:  Flap fairings and cut lines

For some reason my fairings don't exactly match the blueprints and I don't really know why. They seem to be close but unlike horseshoes, close doesn't count. Anyway, assuming I have the wings mounted correctly with the right sweep and incidence then the the fairings are what they are. So, I just modified them slightly and shaped, installed, and matched drilled them to the fuselage. They obviously aren't perfect but overall I think they look good and should be ok in terms of drag.

In the third photo below you will see the cut line marked to make the flap edge closely match the fuselage skin.
