RE: "Super" Stryker... my mods...
Boss,
Ok going back to my history classes, During the development of the P38 lightning, they ran into a similar condition where in a high speed dive, controls lost effectiveness/ locked due to aerodynamic forces on the flaps. Granted we're not going to reach 600 mph in a dive, but we're experiencing something similar due to loss of air over the flaps. And since we want speed in a dive, an air brake would be detrimental.
I now think I understand the leading edge idea, redirect air over wing for better control.
p.s. noticed all the photos in the backround, were you?
