Hi Lightning Lovers,
I have a mystery to see if you can help explain; when I use 10
degrees flaps for takeoff in the Lightning, they raise automatically
during the takeoff. I have never had to retract the flaps after
takeoff. Any ideas? Anyone else noticed the same phenomenon?
Merry
Christmas, Linda

Linda,
Sounds like the old hand resting on top of the stick trick to me. However,
in my case the flaps always go down, not up. But I'm left handed.

Nope, Earl, that's not it, because it happens when I fly her airplane as
well. But, tell me, what weird position are you in to have your hand resting
on
top of the stick? Is that some new world record setting trick?
Happy Holidays,
Buz

Earl,
That is definitely not it; the hand never rests on top of the
stick. They are really retracting without pilot intervention.

Linda, it sounds like the flap motor gears, get to alitude and lower the
flaps at about 80 mph or so and see if they gradully go up from the air
pressure against the flaps. Tex
