Hi Bill,

 

I know a lot of others are claiming that reflex is at the faired in position.  That may not be the best position.  My little 320 does 215 kts at sea level.  210 is about the average cruise at 7500.  I am dialing in an extra 1/2 inch (measured at the trailing edge of the flap) of reflex.  While flying in formation I have determined that for my airplane this is the sweet spot.  Too much will slow it down and any less will too.  The difference between the faired in position and my reflex position is 7-10 kts.  I also have the gaps on the flaps taped  and gap seals on the ailerons.

I've never been certain that my flaps up position is exactly right. I know some of you couldn't sleep if their flaps weren't in exactly the best spot. So, here's what I would like from you:

What is the exact angle between your cockpit longeron and the top inboard skin of your flap when it is fully up? I ask this question because it will be easy for me to measure and correct if necessary and it is not ambiguous. My plane is a 320.

Thanks -- Bill Kennedy
