The bottom needs to be open when using the piano hinge
to get the correct downward deflection.  Some have covered
the opening with a gap seal (easily done) but I recall that
there is no aerodynamic gain in covering the opening with
the RAF48 airfoil.  If you use the new airfoil, put on a gap seal.
You never see the bottom side of the wing with the KR on
the ground and when I fly by at 180 MPH you won't notice
the gap either !!:-)  Do yourself a favor and put
your building time to something more productive then
re-inventing the aileron hinge.
