RE: Flaps or flaperons?
There is a manuever that helps to slow the plane down and help with the increase in speed due to attitude .It's called slipping.If you have any crosswind it is very important to bank into it or it will flip the plane.But ounce you have done that you apply opposite rudder.This puts a lot of drag on the plane and keep it from gaining airspeed greatly.Although if you don' cut your throttle it won't help much.It is basicly to help if your approach is slightly high.And High wing planes land at a slower speed than Low wing planes so having any power on would only be used in high wind conditions where you may actually have to fly the plane in.I think it stabilizes alot of the airflow on the aircraft? Just know from experience No Books Hope this info was helpfull?
