This brings up another issue. Do most people leave their flaps down
when parked for ease of getting up and down without as much chance of
standing on the flap? We always leave our flaps down when on the
ground.

I put in the cheap - flimsy Van's lock. You only need it on one door
- use a wedge or other restraint on the Passenger side door. The
alarm is probably just as good of an idea. A decal indicating alarm
protection might be as good as a lock. The lock is to send the thief
to the plane parked next to yours. It is really a visual to keep the
thief from climbing up on the wing and damaging your flap.
Alway keep in mind the Van's philosophy of light and INEXPENSIVE..
Remember that you own a light and fast RV10 not a spam can that is
essentially a pig with lipstick.

Flaps full down when parked. Much less chance of damage and easier to get in and out. Normally taxi with no flaps, and take off with 1/2 flaps. (home base grass) Little AFS voice, 'check flaps' is helpful reminder to pull them up on cllimb. Acceleration is so quick that you quickly leave the white arc for flaps on climb so I do pull them up fairly quickly. I then climb with cruise +3 degrees. I wish flap down speed was higher--would allow for faster patterns with flaps--easier to slow down. larry

I always leave the flaps in the full down position when parked. Less chance for someone to step on them.
