Hi. This might be a dumb question but has anybody ever looked into putting flaps on a TOO? I was thinking a split flap hinged aft of the main spar with a torque tube to operate it and maybe to allow more than one setting. That would reduce the stall speed and improve the short field landing capability by making the approach steeper right I'm no aircraft engineer so please be gentle with your comments! Cheers G

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
