Max Flaps
From:Aram ScholsbergThe most interesting technical innovation at the Maxmen was a
F1A flapper by Sergy Makarov and Mikhail Kochkariov. The first
F1A flapper was developed by Per Findahl last year 2007, just
published in the February ’08 FFn. “Lord Flash 4”, as the model
is called, has a geodetical flap, comprising 50% of a double
tapered wing, with an upper hinge. There are two fixed points,
one at 22% (the longer main rod) and a second at 75% of the
base chord. The center of the wing is pushed up and down with
a servo. The inner flap moves the outer flap with a pin at about
75%. The wing remains flat during the towing and bunt. Per
claims his model could reach about 90+ meters.
Per communicated his ideas to M&K, who developed two flappers,
one with four panels, the other with six panels (were the tip panels
are fixed). M&K main innovation was to camber the wing during
circle towing, making the towing humanly possible. Other minor
changes are a flap’s construction with straight ribs and diagonals,
and the usage of a hinge at the under surface of the wing, sealed
with a plastic strip, instead of the upper surface as Findhal does.
The model reaches 90 meters plus or minus 2-3 meters.
On Sunday at the Maxmen, I was fortunate to observe a demonst-
ration flight to the junior F1A fliers from Connecticut. Sergy started
to sprint upwind just as the model entered the second quarter (3 to
6 hours). The model turned around quickly and seemed accelerated
tremendously as it climbed up the line (flat sections are much less
draggy), cruised perfectly vertically for about two seconds before
bunting. Wow!
Evidently, the most challenging problem was to develop the means
to shift the wing’s center up and down. M&K used a large servo
placed just behind the tow hook, which seemed to operate a rake
and pinion mechanism – but I don’t know the details.
These are definitely exciting times!

flown on 12 Feb,2008 at Holloway Gypsum's largest mesa.
It is located about 1 mile SE of our Lost Hills, CA flying field.
Eight rounds were flown, beginning @ 0835, ending @ 1500.
There was a short break for lunch.
Breezes were light[0-3m/s max], with nice PM temps for the folks
on the hill.
That made it very much a performance contest, with some gliding
into small patches of lift or down air out in the pit landing areas.

I must congratulate Peter for his fine effort, leading the entire day
to win for second year running.
My thanks to all the folks on the hill who assisted in making this
event a nice happening again this year.
It would be great to have more fliers in 2009!
