Brief Description:  Trimmed and bent the flap bottom skins

Trimmed the inboard edges of the flap bottom skins to parallel the F-826-1 and F-827-1 Center Bottom Skins.

To eliminate the 1/2" gap between the flap bottom skin and the fuselage we cut a slot in the trailing edge of the flaps and bent the bottom inboard edge up to match the fuselage as per Randy Lervold solution (www.rv-8.com). We will also add an additional rivet where the flap skins overlap close to the inboard edge.
