What you circled is the fairing that covers the arms that hold and move the flaps.

You have no idea ,How much My Doubt have cost me , see ,the animation did never have sense to me , ,in all my jet models ,there always been this Unknown too me matter ,if you see the 707 ,citations etc the animation of the flaps are something that looks more beautiful than realistic ,I'm trying to be very accurate this time ,Now I understand the way they move and HOW they move ,because this was the pain in the but HOW THEY MOVE? and not to make something that moves down without sense.
This is why I said in the  "I assume"in the circled shot because I began to look another models trying to understand this time this movement

Thank you

Alex

By the way, the "sticks" you're talking about are hydraulic rams.

Alex. I found this guide which might be of some help. http://www.airlinercafe.com/page.php?id=396

It has a nice close-up photo of that pressure relief vent you were discussing in another topic.

Alex,

The parts you have circled are called canoes. They contain the tracks the flaps move on.

This type of flaps are called Fowler flaps. A Google search should help you.

After reading a bit, and looking more closely at pictures, I believe I miss-spoke when I said the MD-80's have Fowler flaps. It looks like they have hinged flaps. This document might be interesting also,- http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airpor ... s/md80.pdf
