Will Spacex change the external shape of any of Starship's flaps in a way that is obvious?

Resolves No if they reinforce them internally and add more thermal protection, or make minor modifications.

I don't see any differences.

It remains to be seen whether this design flies on IFT5...

What if the flap shape doesn't change but the joint covers do?

What if they move them?

@Daniel_MC I think this should resolve YES

I think this should resolve NO, if the external shape of the flaps doesn't change, merely their location

@JoshuaWilkes this market is only about the shape, not the position or orientation. Resolves yes only if the shape of the flaps are obviously different on the IFT5 Starship.
