I had installed a belly board on my old Kr. It was just in front of the rear spar and actuated with a linear actuator. I believe the board was 30 inches by 6 inches. I noticed little to no change in pitch when deployed, but did add bunch of drag. Something I should have done to that plane years ago. My present KR has stock flaps and there is a big change in nose down pitch when deployed.

I'm about to hang a belly board on N891JF, so I'm doing a little research. I plan on putting the hinge point underneath the main spar, and would expect deploying the flap would nose the plane down, requiring nose up trim to compensate. That's how the flaps on N56ML work, at least. Does anybody experience different results from a belly board, and if so, where's the hinge point for your belly board?
