MessageDear Karel,
You can be sure I do understand we need
outriggers (and full flaps) when on the ground!
I meant the moment before landing,
it could be possible to have graduated
flaps. Let is say 10 degrees during downwind,
20 degrees during basic and finally all 27 degrees
when landing...that was my point.
I do like my Cessna=B4s adjustable flaps.
Raimo

Dear raimo,
Don't think you are the first of thinking that it would be better. You
know that for the trikes there is an operational mode for flap setting.
But we as mono's, we need our outriggers, so we can't separate the
setting for half or full or less. But remember we made perhaps the
choice to be faster.
I really think the best Europa flyers are the mono's. The trikes are
apron exhibition and not without success.
Best regards,

All,
Is there any mono flying with fixed main gear
but adjustable /moveable flaps /outriggers?
If so, what is the penalty (speed, handling)?
Just a thought. Personally I will definetely not try it.
Retractable main gear was one of my main
reason to build Europa MW - I like it.
Geometrical lock is safe - if it is there and w/o play.
Regards, Raimo
