Hi Jonathan and list members,

You mentioned " IMHO the bungee is set right when the uc/flap lever can
"float" approximately in the middle of the gate with air loads": 

Does this mean that the air loads will compensate the weight of the flaps?
The bungee tension of my aircraft lifts the undercarriage to the middle
position without any force applied, if the wings are NOT fitted. Is this
enough? Or should the bungee also help to lift the flaps?

Regards, Alfred
