For aircooled engines, the flaps either constrain the airflow into the engine compartment, or constraint it coming out of the compartment. The C172RG has them underneath behind the gear. Flaps are open at slow speed and high power settings (eg climb) and are closed at high speed and low power (eg cruise). _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
