Hey all,

I've been out of carrier for couple of years and and just started a new Class II Skyraider. I'll be using a line slider and was wounding if I should use flaps in conjunction with the slider.

Thx.,

Rick

Not sure about your question.......but I've been looking for an excuse to get into carrier flying.........what manufacture did you get your model from??? Thanks [8D]

Hey guys,


Thanks for the PM's.

STANG,

I got the plans from MAN. Feb. 77, Ed Martinez design. It was org. for Class I but I blew them up 25% for the larger engine. If your intrested in a copy let me know and I'll get them to ya. AZ. a pretty good area for carrier from what I hear. Anyhow let me know.

I guess if I was building a design I was unfamiliar with, I'd go ahead and make the flaps useable and try to also
make it so that it would be possible to have them stay up - then test fly it both ways. The slider probably doesn't
really affect whether you use them or not - it's more of a flying style choice. So if you can give yourself a choice
then go ahead. If it is not possible to engineer a method to disconnect, I'd probably opt to not include them - with a slider, you will probably be flying fully stalled most of the time anyway, and they don't add much at high angles of attack.
