Default RE: 130 Flaps

ORIGINAL: Canuck1

Thanks rryman, I am glad to be part of this thread. I was also wondering if anyone has put a fowler type flap on thier C-130. I like the looks of the sliding flap instead of just a flap dropping down from the bottom of the wing. Any comments from anyone would be appreciated. Also I have no experience with constructing a three piece wing? So I will no doubt be asking you how to achieve this using the alluminum tube and the inserts for the wing.

Craig.
I looked at a fowler flap but thought that the wing structure wasn't strong enough to hold it due to the foam compisition. I decided to make the split type flap and it is very effective. Jim
