I have set my flaps this way. I have since seen other Allegro 2000 SALSA planes that do not have this negative flap position. In those planes ("0" flap position) the flaps are even with the ailerons in the neutral position. Which is correct? In what position do others have their "0" flaps set?

It may be nice to have a neg ative setting if that makes running at cruise speed a little more efficie nt. I'm not sure, however, that I would want to cruise much closer to Vne . There isn't a large margin as it is. On a different subject... any Allegro owners near Spokane WA? I'm in town for a couple days and am always interested in catching up with other own ers and seeing their planes.
