Mike=0Anot sure I agree re air loads, the flaps were designed so that lift
reacts straight up the support through the pivot so there should be no forc
e raising or lowering the flap. Certainly if the gear bungie is correctly a
djusted you can put the flap anywhere in flight and it doesn't move. Sure t
here might be some bias from the gear but flaps down I suspect air loads ar
e balanced by the loads in the flap hangers and can't affect fore and aft m
ovement of the flap? Comments?=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A_____________________
