 |
|
Since I built from a kit and decided to mount my flaps solid, I have a complete flap drive assembly that I would be happy to part with. It is complete, motor, tube, linkages, etc. except for the doubler that goes on the pilots seat back. Since this always sparks discussions about the virtue of having flaps I will mention that I 'talked' (mostly through e-mail) with several XL drivers that seldom if ever use flaps, even for short field landings. I did it to save weight and complexity as well as simplify adding wing root fairings. I will be at Oshkosh Friday through the rest of the weekend and since I'm driving this year I will bring the flap assembly with me. If interested I can be reached by cell phone 309-269-4555. If no one at Osh is interested I would entertain shipping it. I live ~ 50 miles SW of Chicago. I don't know what Zenith gets for it so make me an offer, I would like to see it go to a good home. I think it came with my control kit in 2005.

Craig,
Do you still have this? How much are you willing to part with it for?

After you finish your test flights, please let us know what stall speed you
determined for your 601 w/o flaps. Are you taping or covering the gap at
the top of the flaps? Also, the effect of your fairings on the stall speed
would be very interesting. If you can meet LSA stall requirements (<= 51
mph cas) with fairings but no flaps, that would be terrific.

I plan to tape over the hinge but the gap on top is small enough I will probably leave it alone. As far as being LSA compliant, the stall requirements are without flaps (Vs not Vso). I would expect some improvement on stall speed and climb rate with the wing root fairings, I will get as accurate as possible before and after numbers.
I still have the flap drive assembly. Since I got it with the kit I don't know what it cost or I would just cut the price in half. Can anyone suggest a fair price?
