Fowler Flap Mechanism
Still need a little more detail regarding how the Fowler flap mechanism
inside the wing was configured . Do the flap ends slide in a groove inside
a rib? Is there a center located pushrod or one at each end? I can
understand the piano hinge and it's ability for a flap to stay "fixed" but
can't visualize the Fowler extension details. Thanks, Dick

After seeing the KP-5 Kappa Aircraft import's Fowler flap operate on the
Sport Pilot tv program, I was wondering what the simplest, least
complicated mechanically/structurally sound means to operate would be.
It appeared to be some sort of extendable track??
My first thought, is that doesn't appear to be very simple.
Comments?
Thanks, Dick
