Pierre said, "I installed both flaps (20" X 12" inboard) as well as a belly board (clearance 2" hanging 90 degrees down). The idea is to use flaps on approach and use speed brake after touchdown. I will be testing on a 3,000 feet strip, but my personal strip is only 1,200 feet"
I think you are overthinking things here. That's great that you have both flaps and bellyboard. That allows you to stay high enough on approach that if you lose the engine you can still make the runway. So . . . stay high, get slowed way down, deploy all your drag devices so you can make a nice steep final and touch down just above stall. You may still have to do some slipping, although a board hanging down 90 degrees should probably do the job. ____________________________________________________________ Old School Yearbook Pics View Class Yearbooks Online Free.
