0-235 - flaps
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:59 pm
Hi Bobp,
There must be an awful lot of slace in mine because I am certain they go to
about 30degrees. This makes sense about the slackness. I have got the
6degree reflex but can see that if I do uprate the enginge I could add
6degree more. Even the 6degrees makes a huge difference in the cruise
performance. I can see now what you meant when you said full flaps, if I
used that on my (slack) flaps it would be the barn door scenario. Mind you
what hp have you got because I would have thought the more power available
during the run then more drag you could overcome and take advantage of the
increased lift of the extra flaps, must be a real balanced equation??
I live in Cornwall, England (very small fields, originally from Ontartio)
Thanks,
Bob
