For now, all I'm putting in is a BIG speed brake. I'm keeping my options open though. I decided is when Rob once said. " Keep it simple and get it done" ?Paul ViskBelleville Il?618 406 4605

However, drag for the landing approach is critical , IMHO.? If you want flaps, build them to produce drag also for the landing approach.? A simple speed brake will suffice for drag.? There really is no need to try to combine the two unless you are looking for an aeronautical / mechanical challenge.? 600 hour with speed brake only.
