The 85% should actually be 85 degrees. It is referring to the angle of the flap when fully deployed in the down position. The "full scale" only had 2 flap positions. Up, and down...which I think was 85 or maybe even 90 degrees. (scale guys help me here....) I have 2 yellow spits, one being built and one that just had a little accident. The accident ship was flown with 85 degrees of flap for landings. It really slowed down for landings like you wouldn't believe. I always used full flaps, unless it was very gusty....in which case I didn't use them. I never played with intermediate flap settings. Never mixed the gear or elev. with the flaps either. When the flaps were deployed, there is just a slight balloon that is overcome with a little elevator. The yellow spit is a very nice flyer. What engine are you running? Would like to see some pics.....I'll try to post one of mine next to my platt 109.

edit...sorry for the poor quality. I can't seem to figure out how to resize it so it will fit and still have a crisp picture.

Status: offline 		I have the Yellow Spitfire and my Son has one too. Together we have over 130 logged flights in the past year. Here is the deal on flaps. Scale position is 85 degrees. That is what you build in. You dump them in right before your turn to final. Dump them all the way. It is wonderful. No perceptable trim change. None. Keep throttle at 25 - 30% and just drive the thing to the ground. A little flare and your down. Best landing Warbird I have ever had my hands on.
