DIY: Multiplex Easyglider 4 with Flaps

A few months ago, I was looking for a small glider for my slope soaring adventures. It should be electrified to test sketchy wind conditions on the slope, rather small, compactly to transport, sturdy and enable easy landing – which makes flaps mandatory. After doing some research on the web, I decided to go for a Multiplex Easyglider 4 and then try to build flaps in the wing… I saw a few YouTube videos of folks already done this, but I noticed that they were cutting out the flaps apparently too small (they used the same depth for flaps as for ailerons) which was my mainly explanation for the viewable low braking performances. I wanted to do it better...
