I bought an Alpina 4001 kit a few months back and just started working on it. The kit I bought was the "covered" version and I'm curious if anyone else out there has built one lately. The catalog says the covered version has airbrakes installed (as opposed to the ASH-26 which says the airbrakes are "included"). I can't find any airbrakes installed, unless someone did an excellent job of hiding the seems of the cover strip. If the airbrakes are hidden under the Ultracote, does anyone have the exact measurements of where I should cut to expose them? I don't want to be putting a bunch of holes in the covering looking for the things. Keep in mind, the top of the wing is fully sheeted in wood. I know the ASH has the wing routed for the airbrakes and the hole is just covered with Ultracote. If you feel the covering, you can find the place to cut to mount the airbrakes. The Alpina is not like that. There is no slot routed out in the sheeting that I can find, besides the airbrakes are supposed to be installed at the factory. Someone let me know.
