In the spirit of experimental aircraft has anyone built an RV-8 without functioning flaps?
I?m thinking in terms of a racer: The flap sections would be flush riveted under the main skins and onto the rear spars. Less weight, less mechanical parts, no gaps to catch air. Possibly designed with a slight negative inclination to promote higher cruise speeds.
