hi Asanders

I have ignored the discussions on the radiator cooler flap, only because no one had brought it up until now in such an effective way. Nice


Since you have explained it quite well, I shall hope the owners of this model have a better understanding ( and want a better understanding) of the original intent of the designers. This is one of the few airframes I have come to know in detail along with the historical and technical significance. It was one of the reasons that all the other advanced designs to battle this airframe were brought about. From LE slats to the water /methenol injection, NO2, to name a very few. It was ahead of its time.

It forced the allied designers to step it up.

Thank You.

I have my upper flap taped in fixed position at the moment till I link up a system to use the lower flap control servo to deploy both surfaces.

I have a back up 109 wing to try stuff on.
