RE: U2 Spyplane
I'd like to see more from both Sean and I-nav about their flap systems. I-nav's pics look like they have 5 or 6 hinge points - just by the shadow in the hinge gap. Are they slotted flaps or plain?
The plane I bought had the wings skinned by the previous owner. I need to get them on a long flat table, but I don't think they have any washout. I do know they were built with scale airfoils, which is unfortunate. I may build new wings just to make sure everything is as it should be. I couldn't find a data sheet with washout data, but photos on the web look like there's 3-5 deg of washout there.
What did you guys do for retracts & struts?
