Don Smith Constellation Fowler Flap Test #2 

Nice engineering but as I have learned, its all about leverage.. Given your design, a solution would be to machine an inboard rib with an extended nose (half the length of the rib). That would give you the leverage to overcome the large flap surface area

Good job bro

Amazing

Que calidad viejo exelente

Very cool

I see a lot of the screws are just pushed through the ball links without nuts. Put nuts on and that may help decrease the movement.

Plz make a vedio on measurements

Looks like you need tracks to run that in. Maybe in the next rib on the rest of the wing.

some late thoughts. the flaps, obviously, need to be stabilized, near the hinge line. a combination of fixed, pivoting anchor points in the aft wing and guide rods, with pivoting mount at the flap le, might work. cheers

You need a horn on the flap for the leverage.

Ball links, and Carbon fiber pushrods, lighter than metal, Use threaded rod JB welded into the carbon fiber.

good job Don!!!. What construction we`ll expected on finish? A380? :))))

I realy like them send me the way u weld them from begin
