KR> Flaps Effectiveness?

2010-08-21 Thread Phillip E Harrison
This is my first entry into discussion here. I have a KR2 kit (thanks Steve) and have been looking to see what mods I would consider with both the Airframe and Corvair engine. For me two things are fundamental and control the decision process.1-the rule of KISS and 2-an inclination towards

OK - let me see if I can help. I have a standard KR-2 with flaps. First off the flaps as built per plans will not pitch the nose down! They do not have the area to being even close to doing that - about the only thing they can do for you is marginally help stabilize your air speed on final. I haven

Many thanks to everybody that responded! However, I didn't really get the information I was after. I am looking for pitch up, pitch down information when the flaps are deployed, as well as effective slowing numbers correlated to percentage of flap deployed, stall speed changes, recommended fl

I've got a drag flap that only goes down 30ยบ or so, but it's better than nothing. Flaps would be great and I'd like to have them, but as Mark says, speed control is everything. Cross the fence at 70 or below and you'll have no trouble with 2500' strips, flaps or not. No brakes. I'd think a sod
