Here is my approach for more flap area and more wing area without adding allot of cantilever loads to the spars and wing attachments.[ caused by longer wings]. Add a RAF 54 or 56 or longer cord foil at the Fus tapering to a RAF 48 at the wing Fus Stub End. Mine is a RAF 54. This also eliminates the stair step at the Stub and Fus, cleaning up the flow lines. Tapering wedges of spruce strips are used from the stub ends to the Fus as fillers. The wing stubs flare from the Stub End to the Fus in 2 planes[ width and depth].
