2016-01-06 Thread Jeff Scott
Those who say you can simply slip it and get the same effect as a flap or belly board are missing the point, and likely don't have either one to compare with. All three methods are helpful, however. The beauty of the flaps on N891JF is that they are huge "split" flaps, famous for good lift and lo

Pete, As others stated, you can easily fix by shimming or sanding to square it up. If you shim, then just fill with micro above the hinge to make it disappear in the finish.?Once the plane is finished and flying, small details like that are quickly forgotten. ? -Jeff Scott > The holes aren'

Also, this is obvious, but took me way too long to figure it out...if you'll wax the hinge pin with something like carnauba wax, the hinges will slide in a out a lot easier! A paper towel and a couple of swipes is all it takes. It has the benefit of minimizing corrosion as well. Mark Langford,

I am confused. Why would you want to put out a speed brake outside a normal circumstances or landing. Why not just reduce the rpm. And lift the nose. Side slip. Landing is more fun without flaps. But they are good to have. PHIL Matheson. Sent from my iPhone > > > ___

I don't remember a specific speed. This is a rough timing to fully extend or retract my speed brake. It moves approx. 80 degrees from full up to full down. Speed is also a function of where the actuator is mounted on the speed brake in relation to the hinge point. Mine is 4" aft o the piano hing
