Gino,

For what it's worth,I use full flaps with crow on the Kingcat,to do the slow flyby with smoke. No gear though. The crow setup is draggy enough. More stable than takeoff flaps,and the engine is spooled more,so when I smack it to go vertical it's right there.

I think it depends alot on the jet. I don't know what Brian's using in the smokeout. good luck Brian!!
