Ok when doing a nice slow flyby how much flaps do you guys use??? And why
Thanks
Brian
Full Flaps and speed brakes. This is because you need all of the additional lift you can get at the slow speeds.

Never got any lift from speed brakes ! But I am speaking real life and not models !
Definition of flaps are devices that give an increase angle of decent with no speed increase.

The speed brakes aren't for lift. They are to create drag which helps the jet slow down..
Definition of flaps from Websters Dictionary:
"a hinged or pivoted and sometimes extensible portion of an airplane wing used to increase the lift and drag for making landings at reduced speeds"
