Hi guys I have been reading about the huge benefits that Jeff Scott is getting from his new flaps and was wondering if anybody had ever tried converting their ailerons to flaperons. I will not be able to use the stub trailing edges as flaps due to all my controlls being situated in them. Because of the retract system I will have, there is no place between the spars for control cables. The ailerons will be actuated by push rods from inside the fuselage behind the rear spar. I suppose you would need some kind of mixer to achieve this but I don't know what kind of effect this will have on the aircraft's flight characteristics. By the way I am using the AS5048 at the root going to the 5045 at the tip.
Those of you going to Oshkosh should keep a look out for any kind of promotion for the Whisper motor glider. I believe that Jabiru might have something to do with it. Regards Dene Collett KR2SRT builder South africa Whisper assembler See: www.whisperaircraft.com mailto: av...@telkomsa.net
