Any ideas on how to check in-flight flap angle?

You can use "stick".. but it won't turn.. if you get crosswinded. You have
to use your feet.. full left rudder.. point back at runway c/line... on
line.. full right rudder to straighten out and land. I learned that the
first time when the tree was getting pretty big in front of me and she
wouldn't turn! LOL

..and Yes I'm mechanically push pulled to floor mounted flap handle. Takes a
lot of the teleflex slop out.. but there is still a fair amount of horn
flex, but yes I keep more flap active in flight than a teleflex equipped
bird... and yes.. I've pulled flaps when faster than I should have
been....more than once.

If I remember correctly, Wayne you don't have a teleflex in your system
either so you probably get close to that 21degrees in flight. I know that
I don't get close to what I have rigged for on the ground due to all the
flex. Do you mean you "shouldn't" use aileron with full flap, or can't?
Mine works pretty good, but there again you are seeing more flap than me.
I may have to come up with some kind of protractor that is attached to the
wing and can be seen in flight before I actually know where my flaps are.

As Nigel suggests be careful playing with too much flap with only two
hangers/per holding them on.

I'm assuming you're running the full length flaperons Jesse.. as that's
how
I sold that kit to you. I've always had mine going to 21 degrees... as
full
flap... and mine are completely covered in aluminum which adds a bit of
structural strength to the spans and has never been an issue that I've
seen
or noted during inspections.... but I sure wouldn't go any further than
that
as there is no considerable differential when they are down full. You can
NOT turn with stick at full flaperon down.. you have to use your feet and
point it where you wanna be.

Hi Jesse

Be very careful doing that - the flap attach points on the rear spar of
the
wing will only take so much load, not sure how much (if any) spare you
may
have to play with !!

I'm in the process of rebuilding my flap handle, and considering
increasing
the max flap setting. I would severely restrict the airspeed for the last
notch. Has anyone done this who could share their experience?
Thanks
