RE: Tower hobbies BIG RTF

Hi Steve,
I'm 100% aware of that.
Just as you wouldn't lower the landing gear at 500 MPH
What is the take off speed?
The speed where the wheels leave the ground.?
At that speed the flaps are still down and must have a lot of stress imposed on them.

They can only be deployed up to a certain air speed, otherwise damage can occur. Any C-17 pilots out there that know what the max SLAT deployment speed is?
