What is a " stage " of flap you people speak of?
Is it something like " finals " ?
I think that would be a notch with mechanical flaps......
Like the DR400 which has first notch 15 degrees second 60 degrees
As in pull the handle a bit and let go that's takeoff. Pull more and let go that's landing flap.
Or just forget it as they don't actually have much effect anyway. (on a wooden Robin, anyway......) flying off 720 metres of mud, still......got really wet again washing it off yesterday. I suspect the runway will soon all be just in front of the hangar, next to the taps.
Folk do seem to get all het up here, don't they?
