Actually flap settings are touched on in my first $0.02 I pitched in 9

Hey... here in Europe we only move flaps positive and flaps negative,
we don't retract them... we don't even know these fowler type things
(apart from the ones on this Blanik thing)...


although I make no mention of negative flaps I simply
state that retracting them hastens the recovery process in it, and
that it was probably not specific to V tails... The Fowler flaps on my
Sisu had 0-20 deg, but no neg... but- flap setting as a concept was at
least mentioned



Let's wait tll the first one points out to retract the Schempp-Hirth
type airbrakes due to structural reasons...
