Guy, in my Lak 12 the pilot must scan the ASI as at exactly 40kts you move flaps slowly but definitely from -2 to +1. You quickly get to know when that time has come, but you must look. The only possible criticism could be that on the DI the PIC did not do a visual check of the ASI whilst someone blew into the pitot. The Lak 12 is a lovely, rugged, strong aircraft in every respect, and with the long wings and low tailplane it is a real looker. It is a joy to fly, climbs like a witch and flies a hell of a long way between thermals. Landing is easy and flaps are powerful. Brakes are okay. Price is great. Show me the perfect glider!
