Flaps

[cocteau4ad]

hey Manintrees your question was answer bacickly it give you more time to aim at the target and also to find them, you want to retract them because you need to get aout of there as fast as you can and also they can get damage if you is you fly outside the VFE or white arc basacly the speed that the manufacturer tells you to retract the falps to avoid damage. remember that just doing a manuver like you see it in a book will not necesarily work all the time. in a dog fight you need to adapt to the situation every second, also you need to know what your oponent is capable of. if he can turn tighter that you do not get on a turning fight use another, zoom and boom might be the answer.
