GP Stuka ARf flaps...
 
If anyone has this plane, can you tell me if the plane noses up when the flaps are lowered??

you won`t even notice it,however i did program 2 degree`s down elevator when flaps are deployed.This puts the plane at a perfect nose down angle.I have a saito 100 & air sirens that whistle when in a dive !

Thankx for the feedback. Sounds like another reason to get one of those programmable radios that I have been looking at. Do you know how much throw you have on the flaps? [8D]

Tell us about the "tumpets of Jerico"(sirens) that you have.. where did you get em? are they still available?

I have about 35 degrees deflection on the flaps. The air sirens are called air whistles from, I-4C.com. They are really whistles that U cut to different lenghts ( u get 2 of em) to produce a different tone between the two. I have mine mounted on the belly pan,& when I put it in a dive ,U can hear them just over the sound of the engine.It always draws a lot of attention at the field.I`ve had my Stuka since 2003,broke the right wing off twice! It will tip stall if U bring it in too slow,Just be a couple clicks above idle when landing, & u will be fine..,Also ,if U retract the flaps as soon as U touch down,it will help keep the plane from bouncing.
