Subject: [LML] LNC2 Flaps, again

Well, it's been a few years since we last covered this topic, so it's time
for some LNC2 flap questions again...

1.  Even after searching the LML archives, I'm unclear as to whether the
fuselage faired position for the flaps is the zero-degree position, or the
reflex position  The blueprints indicate that the fuselage-faired position
is the -7 degrees reflex position, but the manual seems to indicate that the
reflex position is with the flap trailing edges above the fuselage fillet.
Which is correct?

2.  My fillets are uneven (they differ by 1/2").  I plan on splitting the
difference on the flap trailing edges(one side 1/4" below fuselage faired,
the other 1/4" above).  Anybody see any problems with this method?

3.  I run out of skin on the flap leading edge when my flaps drop more than
38 degrees below the faired in position.  For the others who ran into this
situation, did you add some BID to either the leading or trailing edge of
the upper flap skin, or did you just install the braces along the flap
leading edge and get on with business?

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide here,
