hA big milestone, the fuselage all framed and covered,
ready for fiberglass cloth layup. The tools on the wall

scale Fowler flap gear. This was my mock up

hHere is the Fowler flap mechanism, now made
from aluminum and ready to be attached to the wing.

works. Now to replicate this for the 1/4 scale flaps on
the P47.

hAnother view of the Three Fowler flap
mechanisms attached to the flap. This took
