Hi! Mike.
Independent Electric Flaps on a trike enable recommended 18deg of flap
for take off, and full flap for landing gives a better insurance against
wind shear on landing. Also the slower touch down speed with full flaps
saves some tyre wear.

Good Day All,
I had a quick question......in spite of the fact that I'm still about a
year, or so, from flying. With the monowheel aircraft, the flaps are
extended
with the same control that brings the main wheel and outriggers up and
down. On
a tri gear takeoff, do you extend your flaps since they are now
independent?
Do you ever make flap up landings? Any big difference in the two
approaches?
