I have a Cap with about a 66" wing span. I was reading some general threads about the Ultra stick 60 and the crow and started me thinging about my Cap and why I don't use flap to slow the plane down a touch on landings..

Does anyone else use flap on there Cap or edge or extras. I know how bad the plane can tip stall on landing but wounder if the flap would make this better or worse??

any point of view from people out there??

Using the ailerons as flaps will make it worse because you are effectively increasing the AoA at the wing tips, getting the tips closer to a stall than the root.

FlyFalcon thanks for your input.. AoA is Angle of Attack I guess..


Thanks
