My project is gonna Need a different flap, than the one i have now.
I used the Fowler flap on the L-13 glider , back in 1998 , and thought
it was effective and very smooth to deploy.
I did every search i could think of ; Had no luck finding out how, the
thing worked. Anybody have an idea on how i could get that info ?
The glider below, is the one i'm doing the Mods to ; it's going to look
a lot like a BKB-1, when i'm done. The Fowler flap will add about
25-sq ft when deployed, but 12 less squares than the stock glider
when folded into the wing ; i might need All of those 12 extra squares
if i ever need a full stop landing in the desert.
Stock, my glider has 160 Sq-ft , and the stock flap has 12 squares . I can
do a full stop landing , with no roll-out , on her now ; seated
and and adding the weight for the fairings and motor , i will still be
inside the parameters for the weight limit for current VNE and
still be legal for a powered Ultralight. Those full stop landings, are
gonna be problematic ; once i add the mods !
