 |
|
Lessons for Oshkosh....
A while back we noticed the nose of our flaps bulges slightly below the bottom wing skin. The bulge is not consistent along the length of the flap. While at Oshkosh I compared our flaps to other examples and found that this is a fairly common problem (if it can be called a problem). All of the aircraft with retracted flaps I looked at had the problem, except one (Vans demo RV-10). I did not look at all of the examples on display. I talked to Ken K. about this, he seemed surprised. I asked if it would be OK to hand form the leading edge to eliminate the bulge, he said that would be good. He also said we could bend the bottom wing skin down a bit.
We had quick build wings (including the flaps).
Just passing along the observation.
Thanks, Jason Kreidler
