I wasn't trying to open any cans, be it worms or corn. I was curious if flaps down during the take off roll and lift off would help stabilize the plane from the left thrust. I've added 3 degrees of right thrust and one degree of down thrust at the engine. I've seen the real thing take off and land with full flaps. Why not a model?
I've used flaps on my Cessna 182 Skylane on take off and landing and I mixed in down elevator to minimize the ballooning effect.

Anyway the first flight will have to wait a week or so until I can install a better linkage for the flaps instead of the lousy set up that came with the ARF. They used stranded cable inside a less than perfect guide tube that would flex when pushing the flaps up which would have no constant end point.
Guess I'll have no choice but to install bellcranks or to make a box for a servo on each side.


Happy flying!!
