Basic Wing With Flaps

I'm redoing the SWL-120's wings, and I thought I'd share this along with this video. It's a basic rectangular wing using a hybrid of the 3 parts airfoil and custom panelling.

The notable features of this wing are 4 settings of flaps, dynamic timings for the smoothing of the flaps, and how the flaps go to each setting perfectly without issues.

Controls: VTOL down for flaps, with multiple settings, and brake for spoilers.

If this was on an actual presentable wing, there would be waaaay more details, but not here, because this was a test file.

    @CaptFoxworth19 Of course it is. In fact I'm building that right now. Here's a picture.

    @PlaneFlightX is it possible to use this with wings that has a thick root and slim wing tips, just like the real normal wings?

    @CaptFoxworth19 I just realized I never responded. You know that tutorial? Well, it's out! Part 1 at least, Part 2 is coming in a few days. I also finished making the wings for the SWL-120, a forum post is here.

    @CaptFoxworth19 After going through the process of learning how to make something like this, I have come to the conclusion this is a difficult thing to learn how to do. I'm still going to make a tutorial, however it will take quite a while to come out.

    @CaptFoxworth19 I half made one a while ago and scrapped it due to inexperience. After I'm done the SWL-120 wing remake, I'll make a tutorial about the whole process. I personally am still learning; this is a basic rectangular wing I made as part of my "lessons" from a friend.

    @PlaneFlightX you should make a tutorial about making a wing using this technique because it will help a lot of builders
