+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'm guessing the standard flaps on a KR2 do not generate a great deal of lift or add significant drag on landing. Any drag on landing is good on a KR. No reason you can't have both. I had given thought to flap that, with additional movement of the actuator, deployed a speed brake. If your KR complete is less than 650 pounds, I'd go with just a speed brake. IMHO........ Larry Flesner
