Ziroli 70" P-47
I have been flying my Ziroli 70" P-47 for many years. I have had the Flaps Set at 20 and 45 degrees. Is the 45 degrees the norm in Warbirds or should I change it a little?

Better question...Does it work for you?
I use more than 75 degrees of flap on my TF P-51. At those angles, it is more of a speed brake. I use throttle to control the descent. Much easier to me than judging the glide path on our short paved runway.

Yes, I have been flying it fine with the 45 degree flap setting. That being said, I might want to up it to 50 degrees and see what the plane feels like. I might like it better.
With the 75 degree flap, does the plane want to get to slow as you round out for 2 point landing?
