>From one of the (& all) I found belly boards and flaps have different functions. Flaps increase drag and lift. For flaps you need more ground clearance than the standard retract KR has. The belly board, when placed at the main spar, just increases drag without increasing lift. I picked the belly board because the retract KR floats like crazy in ground affect. After installing the belly board my rate of descent increased dramatically , the float was reduced, and the over the nose visibility was greatly improved throughout out the approach. I can't think of any negative effects and feel it was the right choice for my gear configuration and was easy to install. Good luck with what ever you pick. Rich Seifert N56SR
