ebabil Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Flaps seems stay deployed. Only inner small part of the flaps are retracting when i hit flap up button. This wasn't happening before. what am i doing wrong?

Squid_DK Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Flaps must have gotten damaged, overspeed probably.

ebabil Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 I don't think I pushed the flaps that much. Took of from carrier, made some ccip runs and land on a runway.

mwlue Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Accept that or not, your flaps damaged. so you cannot sweep wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) If this is the case, flap damage model is overdone. btw can i observe this damage on any cockpit instrument? a failure message maybe?

The_Tau Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Flaps can only be deployed at 225 knots and lower, at higher speeds you really risk dmg them. I dont think there is any indication for it, except that they dont retract, when dmg Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It's not just speed related chaps; you can damage the torque tubes applying g whilst the flaps are moving, particularly with rotational g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, also of note and connected to the above post. You can get away with lowering the flaps at higher speeds, but you gotta be real gentle with the bird. For example I routinely lower flaps at 300-400kt, but only after I've already extended the speedbreak and Im approaching an airfield. I usually never damage them even when over-speeding them because I'm not pulling any g's. At that point all Im doing is slowing down and gently trying to hit the glideslope or circuit.

Uxi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I was using the flap lever in the RIO pit and when switched back to pilot they went back at about 450 knots the plane became nigh uncontrollable and there were no doubts at all that something was very very wrong. Are we able to overspeed the gear? Was watching the interview with Shoes Mullen where he ripped off his gear doors and damaged the gear hydraulics and curious about that. Great interview with lots of laughs. At least we don't have bloc 60s with only manual control of man flaps!

Uxi Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 As pilot, have an axis flap lever (on Virpil throttle). Flying high about 40k and fast about 450 kts. Press 2 for RIO pit and use that flap lever for radar elevation. It's pulled down since high. Hooking targets, etc Press 1 to back to pilot... broken flaps.

RustBelt Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yea you can't cross controls like that. Either pick one seat to have axis and toggle switches, or get investing in some more controllers. Honestly Tomcat has Binary flaps. you shouldn't bother with them being on an axis, there's never a time when you would be moving the lever part way between up and down.
