Frank G/Kolbers:



Never seen anything published on flap extension speed.



I usually use 60 to 70 mph for 20 and 40 degrees of flaps.



Have experimented up to 80 mph max flaps, 40 degrees.



Was demonstrating my MKIII at Lakeland some years ago.  Had never done this

maneuver before.  Had an aviation reporter on board, a friend.  Pulled in

full flaps, pulled power back to idle, pushed the nose over straight down.

At 80 to 90 mph I pulled the stick back abruptly.  The MKIII continued in

its vertical dive until I retracted the flaps, then pulled the stick back.

Reckon those big flaps took the air off the tail section rendering my

elevators useless in that situation.



Other than the above, never had a problem with elevators and flaps.

Frank my research shows VFE for the classic to be 100 km, 52 knts or 62 MPH.  Anything above that can cause structure damage.

Frank, Watch my video on transitioning to the Kolb Mk III for GA pilots here:

Here's a view from outside the cockpit:

As for your question about flap deployment speed, I use 60 mph then settle on 50 for approach. Hope this helps.
