Fowler flaps
Posted: Sat Nov 23, 2013 12:56 pm
Anybody have the drawings or sketches for fabricating something like Fowler flaps? I have some flap hangar brackets off my experimental glastar that I was scratching my head about. Just looking for ideas. I have some m5 wings that need a spar and some serious work. Figured why not play with them.
What are some drawbacks of longer or taller flaps from a design perspective? I assume potential turbulence on the tail might reduce effectiveness and stalls would be more violent. I assume there's a reason they only went as big as they did in their original design? Anybody tried anything?
