RE: Su-27 L.E. flaps
To Rapptor: The plane is built from Bertelli plans (from Italy), modified a good bit. Wish it were kitted! Dan: I like your approach and will probably go ahead and buy some mixers to experiment with. I need to work out the air brake mechanics too. I think I'd like to slave the brake to the flaps(flaperons) but not sure of that 'mix' either. An interesting side note-I think-was found in the Mil-Tech series book, chapter 'How to fly the Su-27', stating that it can be flown with control at under 100 kts! One of my favorite full size exercises is mushing about at slow flight. If you screw up, it says you push the little button on the upper right of the stick and you're straight and level-regardless! The 'Cobra' is commenced at 220 kts, 85% power, pull back with 35lbs pressure-to overide the AoA limiter, etc. It touches down at 125. You gotta love the Flanker!
