Please tell us more! I have fiddled around with a sketch pad and photocopies
of the outrigger mechanism trying to figure out how to have say 2 flap
settings, and have the outriggers latch and release at both settings... I'd
rather not get into electric outriggers.

 While we're on this string, what are the objections to 40 degrees of flap,
for landings only.

All the best, 

Miles
