>>>>>>My personal opinion, the flop sure makes life easier.The false spar is how I did it. If I remember, cut off the aft portionof the ribs at the aft upright, save that part, install a spar &construct the flop with the portion of the ribs you cut off. Screw on apiano hinge & there you are.I did one other thing, I extended the flopone bay into the left wing.
