whoa. Mechanical flaps?


What's wrong with that?


nothing is wrong with it. Mechanical flaps are way better than
electric flaps. I just didn't think it could be possible with a high
wing design. At least not with the handle being where it's at.


Nothing ground-breaking, not even for Cessna. 150s had mechanical flaps until
the late '60s.
