Default RE: Flaps

The increase in drag is an important consideration, and the flaps on the Corsair do add considerable drag; chopping the throttle abruptly with full flap is not recommended! As you say, I like to keep about 1/4 throttle with full flaps, set my attitude, and control decent with power.
