Hey all,
My Pops flies a Titan Tornado (Ultralight, 90 knot cruise). For his 75th bday we're flying across Canada in August. I had planned to borrow a Kitfox to fly but it's proving tricky with insurance and crossing into the US.
We're flying from Calgary to Toronto down through the US.
Anyways, my buddy suggested I fly my -7, 20 degrees flaps, throttle pulled back, LOP.
I can do 100 knot cruise I think? I'll drag the flaps to keep the nose down for engine cooling but......question part here.
Is there any chance of doing damage to the flap mechanism by doing this for 30+ hours?
I don't know the structure well enough to know. Hopefully someone can comment.
Thanks
Darren
