BLACK HORSE SPITFIRE 120????????
I JUST PURCHASED THEIR NEW 120 SPITFIRE AND I'M REALLY CONFUSED?
THEY HAVE CUT THE BUTTOM OF EACH WING FOR FLAPS AND IS TAPERED JUST LIKE THE AILERONS.
BUT THE TOP OF THE WING IS COMPLETELY COVERED WHERE THE FLAP IS.
HOW IS THE FLAP TO TRAVEL DOWNWARD IF THERE'S NO WAY TO TRAVEL DUE TO THE COVERING BEING TITE.
UNLIKE THE AILERON WHERE THE TOP AND BUTTOM ARE TAPERED AND COVERED.
ANYONE RUN INTO THIS YET. THE MANUAL SHOWS SERVOS TO THE FLAPS?????????
THANKS FOR ANY INFO,
STEVE

Hi, check and see if the Spitfire has split flaps, if so, only the bottom of the flaps go down. The flaps do not have a top, they use the top of the wing for their top. Many WWII aircraft used split flaps along with many civilan planes. My SNJ and Cessna 195 had split flaps. Norm
