I had *exactly* the same problem coming up with the YASim model. :) I finally found a photo (sorry, I don't know where) from underneath a landing plane that looked vaguely like the wing has *split* flaps. The trailing edge doesn't actually move, but a piece of it flaps down into the airstream. The flap actually goes across the engine nacelle, I think. It's possible that only the bit under the nacelle is split, and that the upper surfaces of the wing on either side move down with the flap deflection. The upshot is that, by my guess, the flap starts at the wing root and ends half way up the trailing edge, more or less the same as any other lightplane. Andy -- Andrew J.
