GMP P-51 Flaps

I was looking at possibly bidding on this airplane, but when I enlarged the pictures, the flaps looked like they could be raised / lifted past the natural position of them in the retracted mode.

Honestly, I have never seen flaps in this position and cannot belive this to be correct. Or is this just a manufacturer wanting to build the airplane with retractable flaps but being too lazy to do it correctly?

If I am wrong, I stand corrected.

Always, Always, Always, No matter what...Confirm the amount of fuel in your tanks before you takeoff!

Yes they can be raised to that position, no you don't have to put them in that position... and can leave them at "the natural raised position" without a problemo...
