Default RE: Combnation flap/spoilers?

I haven't seen any other classic that had this early Hanno flap/spoiler combo. As Rendegade points out, by the time Hanno switched to the Magic from the Curare, the configuration had changed. Matt, used separate flap/spoliers on his Arrow as we know.

David, I don't think any of the Japanese designs used this. The Cosmos in the picture simply has separated ailerons and flaps - similar to scale models. This was probably done to keep the ailerons out of the prop wash while keeping the flaps to what was considered needed.

David.
