No, I'm not going. Flying on the french riviere is not bad either...
I don't know how much flap deflection you can get, as it seems the original setup has improved a lot.
I would still consider doing so, no matter how it looks, it works just wonderfully. The plane comes in much slower.
No matter how long your runaway is, the faster the plane at touch down, the more energy the gear/tires have to dissipate.
Furthemore, the slower you can bring your plane in, the less likely you are to damage it...
Of course, it's up to you, but keep in mind this mod is really easy/quick to do.
Good luck anyway, and keep us posted.
