Hello everyone,
I haven't post for a long time now. I am still flying my Kitfox 3 with a Jabiru
engine. Actually, here are some photos from a trip from Norway to Friedrichshafen
AERO 2011 exhibition:
http://home.online.no/~michel/aero2011/
Anyway, I just wanted to say that, after perhaps 450 hours with my Kitfox, I still
love her and ... I never use my flaps. As we know, it pitches the nose down
and yes, it increases lift but, to my humble opinion, not so much the drag.
On final, I adjust my speed with side slips. I do it all the way to the threshold,
to land on the numbers. It is perhaps a question of taste but ... trying to
do a three-points landing with my taildragger and induce nose-down by using
the flaps ... I don't feel like it.
The only time I have used my flaps is when taking off from a short field with long
wet grass. Use the flaps to get fast out of the grass, then keep flat above
it to gain speed before initial climb.
Cheers,
Michel

Mal Brubaker had a Speedster that he was parting out, I think he had wheel pants.
Search for his thread and you should be able to get a hold of him.

Hey thanks James, I just emailed him. Do you fly a frantic palm tree on
the side? I am trying to get my grandson to go naval air, he is NROTC at
LSU. Keep the dirty side down. Bob
