When I built the 'Hog" with them closed, here is how I did it. Seperate the speed brakes from the spar. You can't use the spar as it will not work in closing up the speed brakes. Use card stock to close up the hole where the spar would go. Glue the speed brakes together and dry fit into the slots, triming the stock till you get a close fit. Then glue onto the wing. You will also have to make new hinge tabs for the speed brakes as you will damage the ones molded on when you cut off the brakes. Sounds complicated, but it is real easy to do.
