RE: What is the function of crow?
Thanks for the education on this guys, Rob, hihorse Dave and others. I was considering experimenting with crow my Bandits, but from the above posts understand that it may not be that useful.
As I see it, properly designed flaps will do everything that crow will do, (increase drag, create washout etc) plus the added bonus of lowering the stall speed. All good things during approach.
I can see crow would be useful if your flaps were not effective enough, but Bandits have huge flaps, and my Super has an air brake.
