Don Smith Constellation Fowler Flap Test #2

[@pdspartner1]

Nice engineering but as I have learned, its all about leverage.. Given your design, a solution would be to machine an inboard rib with an extended nose (half the length of the rib). That would give you the leverage to overcome the large flap surface area

[@vonSchwartzwolfe]

Looks like you need tracks to run that in. Maybe in the next rib on the rest of the wing.

[@scottramos7949]

I see a lot of the screws are just pushed through the ball links without nuts. Put nuts on and that may help decrease the movement.

Plz make a vedio on measurements

[@daviddavids2884]

some late thoughts. the flaps, obviously, need to be stabilized, near the hinge line. a combination of fixed, pivoting anchor points in the aft wing and guide rods, with pivoting mount at the flap le, might work. cheers

[@leonerde00]

what library do you use to calculate the flap ?

[@jamesberwick2210]

Ball links, and Carbon fiber pushrods, lighter than metal, Use threaded rod JB welded into the carbon fiber.

Pro tip : watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@nikolaisawyer2392]

@Deangelo Langston Yup, I have been using flixzone} for months myself :)

[@Cowcharge]

You need a horn on the flap for the leverage.

I realy like them send me the way u weld them from begin
