I've read a lot of the forum news here and find them interesting. I haven't found a lot about the 150 Commuter. You can probably tell I'm a "Newbeee" here on Flitetest. None the less I'm enjoying the time I spend building my first plane and I especially like pushing the envelope - where it can be pushed. That being said I'd like to hear the "pros" & cons of adding flaps to my 150. Yes, I know weight is probably going to be a problem - which quickly translates into being underpowered - which begs the question "why" would you do this? It's just a beginner plane that I'll probably crash. True enough BUT I'd like to know if anyone has ever done it and/or would it just turn out to be "an accident looking for a place to happen". I don't think so. I think it could turn out to be 1 hell of a STOL plane if done correctly. I just don't know what that path would be having never done it -yet. 1 servo or 2? A "Y" harness & linkage? A larger motor? A larger prop? A waste of time and my limited $$$. All thoughts are welcome and I thank you in advance. PS I've always had trouble living "in the box"
