I have a fairly large area to fly - about a 10 acre field, but it's surround by tall trees. The field is longer north/south than it is east/west, so with a west wind, it's tight to bring it in. I can take off and fly above the trees no problem, but haven't really got the landing down very good yet. I always seem to eat up more approach then I need to trying to come in and avoid hitting the trees. I've never flown with flaps (really a beginner at flying). Will flaps make that much difference to go through the trouble of building a model with flaps for STOL performance? Also, is it possible to convert any old aileron plane to flaperons and would it be very effective? I have a Top Flite Sierra 60" trainer built and ready to fly with ailerons - would I be able to use flaperons on this plane? I've been thinking about building a Cub - think flaperons would work on that plane? Thanks.
