I have been using wider flaps since 2007. they work very well. I really use full flap. http://www.philskr2.50megs.com/index.html click on removing Diehl wing and flap section at top of the page.
The bottom few photos will show the flap hinges I made. Phil Matheson ------------------------------------------ On my KR I planned on using flaps, but extending them all the way to the aft spar instead of just the 6-8" narrow flaps KRs normally have. The reason the chord of the flaps was so small is to keep them from dragging on the ground with the short retract gear, but with modern KRs with long gear legs there is no reason no to extend the chord. I don't think anyone has tried that before and I don't know why. I also had my center section wing stubs extended a foot or so on both sides so I think they would have been very effective _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
