Default Flaps

Here's a diagram I did, of some slotted Fowler flaps, driven by a jackscrew. These could also be driven by a torque tube/bellcrank linkage.

There's also a rather well-known article and plan set, available through Model Airplane News, using pneumatic cylinders to drive them. I don't remember the details, but they were originally done for a P-38 model.

Good luck!
