Galen (or anyone with a TR-4),

Would you mind measuring the difference in degrees between your flaps in the up position and full down position? I am looking for the degrees of deflection for setting my full flaps. 

If you don’t have a handy tool already, you can download a BubbleLevel app for your cell phone that is very accurate.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I will try. We need to do that anyway; it seems our full down position must be close to 40 degrees. We are thinking about adding a mid position as full down seems to be too much; it gets squirrelly close to ground effect.Glenn Meyers

I have 12 and 24 degrees of flaps. Some have 12, 24 and 32 degrees.

I have electric flaps with a 12,24,36 degree stop. Rarely ever use the 36 full settings.

That's sounds about right based on what Galin said. Ours are manual. I

think we need to add the center notch. First notch is a little light and

full seems a bit much.

FWIW, I always take off with zero flaps. Once you have flown some hours on yours, you will find what works best for you.



BTW, I also have manual flaps very similar to a Piper Cherokee.

I have two partners in our plane and we are hangared on a grass field. I usually take off with one notch of flaps if anyone more than myself. It seems to get me in ground effect quicker.Glenn

Perfect info. Thanks everybody. 

I sent my engine out to be rebuilt (basically sat for 7-8-years) and should get it back by Christmas. Finishing up rebuilding the doors. Next is rigging the flight controls (hence the questions). I hope to be flying by late spring!  Check out the KIS FaceBook page for pics and status.

The few times I have taken off from grass, I also used 1 notch (12 degrees) of flaps to get into ground effect quicker.
