RE: avistar with flaps? has it been done yet?
not with an avistar, but with a similar aircraft. I took a GP PT-40 and installed dual ailron servos (new comp radio, had try out mixes, lol) With flaps dropped and a no wind day icould just about walk next to it. I would drop flaps, set up like i was landing only about 2 feet above runway give it like 3 clicks of throttle, it would just float happily very slow. Actually they were flaperons. Make sure they both drop the distance or your plane will roll when you hit flaps. With dual servos roll is alot quicker too. Also flaps to elevator is a good mix in a trainer, i could alomost see my wing tips touch on those full speed pull all the back on the stick things...lol. good ol bird. Lost it to a wind gust, oh well onward and upward!!!!
