What flap extension speeds are being used? I see the full flap extension maximum speed is 85 kts. I have flown the 10 like my old C177RG. Approach flaps at 120 kts to begin slowing and further deployment at speeds below 90 kts indicated. Seems to work as an approach flap of 10 degrees begins the slowing process and no excessive forces seem to be experienced. What are others doing?

I asked Van's for clarification regarding the 2 degree flap setting. I was told that it does not have a speed limitation on it. I put the flaps to that position as I am entering the pattern or rolling out on final during an approach.
As for the first and second real notches of flaps, I slow to below 87 kts before extending the flaps per Van's recommendations. I'm sure that there is a reason for that limitation.

Does anyone have a .pdf that Van's supplies with the finishing kit describing the first flight as well as flap speeds?
For me, it is 120 knots for the first, then below 90 knots for everything else.
Typically it is 85 knots for the second notch, then 80 for the third.

Have you checked Van's FAQ's 'Airspeed Indicator Markings' page?
http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/speeds.pdf
It lists all the RV's airspeed indicator markings.
