This requires a little bit of clarification. ?In most cases the wing stub flaps on a KR are located aft of the aileron bellcrank which is aft of the rear spar, so makes for a very short cord on the flap rendering the flaps somewhat ineffectual. ?I relocated the aileron bellcrank in front of the rear spar, so could use all of the area aft of the rear spar to make a significantly larger flap area, which makes them quite effective. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM
