Jim, I'm not aware of the flap extend speed on the 320/360, but Jim is extending the flaps at 100 knots indicated, which doesn't seem inordinately high to me. We're going to tuft a wing and the horizontal on Saturday and I'll photo chase him for some shots. We intend to measure (qualitatively) longitudinal stability over a wide range. Hmmm. Maybe I'll borrow a handheld force gauge from NTPS and do it right.... He recently relocated his static ports to the recommended location (from the pitot/static tube), so we'll include some pace work. BTW, would your AOA system work on a T-38/F-5 type?
