Building A Zenith 701: The Slotless Flaperon Conversion

Описание: Today I am working on the slotless parts for the flaperons, this conversion does away with the big banana slot that you see on the Zenith high wing airplanes. This conversion was I beleive originally done by Ben Haas on his 801 and several builders have incorporated it into their builds but I have not seen anyone document it on u-tube. I try and share a few tips that hopefully are helpful in the airplane factory, I hope you find something usefull here. Enjoy.
