Hey you guys:
I am planning on flying a new Corsair this Sunday.
It's the CMPro 75.5" with flaps.
Does the use of flaps help stabilize an aircraft and help it overcome the thrust factor?
thanks
Tom
Not to disagree with anyone, but if you come in for your first landing and flip the flaps full down, you will think ANYTHING BUT "stable."
Try them in the air, up high. See how much elevator you have to push to attain level flight, with flaps down at a slow speed. Then try landing.
Good luck,
Dave Olson
