I keep flaps down for loading, flaps up for startup, taxi, and half flaps for take off. FPS works great, in my scenarios I never need to manually stop the flaps. If you have never taken off with half flaps, you need to try it. I think you'll really like it..... -Mike Kraus N213RV flying Sent from my iPhone On Dec 15, 2011, at 5:23 PM, "Bob Turner" wrote: > > Bill, > > FWIW my procedure is load people flaps down. Ready to start engine, master on, flaps up, set mixture and throttle for priming; wait a few seconds for the flaps to come all the way up, then prime, start. etc. I don't like to taxi with flaps down, to minimize damage from anything the prop may blow back onto the flaps. At run-up, "set flaps" is on the check list. > > Like you, I haven't quite developed a procedure for approaches. If I think I'm going down to 200'AGL before going visual I fly about 95 KIAS or less (unless the runway is really long) and one notch of flaps, and the jets just have to wait. If it's under a mile visibility then I'll slow to 80 KIAS with 2 notches of flaps and the jets really have to wait. If ceiling is 500 or more I'll do 120 KIAS and no flaps. > > -------- > Bob Turner > RV-10 QB > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=360991#360991 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:48:03 AM PST US From: Bill Watson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Go-around Procedure Using RV-10 Flap Positioner Bob, I like the flaps up at engine start then down before takeoff. I have a good bit of debris along some of my taxi ways and I know I'll regret not pulling them up for taxi. Thanks.
