Hi, i have a supersports 40(World Models) w/ .46 os. It's a low wing plane (52" wing span) which flies very nice, but has a tendancy to come in fast on landings. I have a limited amout of room to land which can make things alittle difficult. This plane does not come with flaps and uses 1 servo for ailerons which eliminates flaperons. I was thinking of making my own custon flaps. I would cut out small rectangles of the inner sections at the trailing edge of the main wings, create flaps out of thin pieces of plywood to fit the cut-outs,sand and thin out the trailing edge of the flap, cover them,hinge them in place. Then using a thin steel wire, attatch them together an hook up to one servo, which would be mounted in the wing. My reciever has 6 channels, so the extra servo wouldnt be a problem. My main concern would be the flight characteristics of the plane with the flaps in the down position. Of course they would have to increase drag, ulimately slowing the plane. Also, i would think if there is too much "flap surface", it may cause too much lift leading to a stall, or causing it to be just too unstable. Again, this plane wasnt designed with flaps. Do u think would be possible to do this, or would it be a disaster waiting to happen?
