"The HDS stall speed is so low you really don't need flaps. I fly out of a 1500' strip here in Texas and have gobs more runway than I need."
"Afternoon Nathan and thank you for your reply. I have been working on the project since June and hope to be flying again around January. The flaps I am building extend well outside the centre wing section and further hope they will lower the stall…"

Zipper Big Bore Kit
Hi to anyone who has information about the Zipper Big Bore Kit for the 912S Rotax engine. I am interested in increasing the HP of my 912S but when I tap on the Zipper website a message pops up saying "There has been a critical error on this website". I am wondering if this means Zipper no longer sell/support this Kit for the Rotax 912S ??. Can anyone shed any light on this please ?. Thanks in advance. Regards, Allen B.See More
