Flaps/Camber....when to use
Having just finished my 2.6m ASW28.
It has high loading of 27oz/ft2. (Ouch!)
I have just set up crow.
-
I then upgraded my tx to a jr3810/8103 to additionally be able to set camber and flaps independantly of crow.
-
I understand the advantages of crow for landing, including effectively introducing large washout to help avoiding tip stalling, but please can someone explain when I would use flaps and camber.
e.g., any use of flaps during launch?
How many degrees?
If lift drops, can I add touch of camber?
Do I then need to be careful about tipstalling because we are increasing angle of attack of whole wing including tips?
Or do I set camber to add slight washout by moving flaps slighly more than ailerons?
-
(note, reflex will not be set as flaps have nil up movement)
-
Above are all the issues spinning round my head.

Please comment,
