Hi Bert,

Lined up with the wing fairings is what I meant by
flush. It's been three years since I had the 20 but
I do remember the flaps lined up with the ailerons
in neutral (and this was adjustable by slackening the
lock nuts and screwing the L'Hotelier's in and out).
I can't accurately recollect whether the flap mixer
moves the flaps more than the ailerons or by the same
amount (though I know the flap mixer mechanism is not
the same in the French 20s and might be different in
the 20b and 20c).

In the LS6 the flaperons are flush with the wing root
in full negative but the 'flaps' are always in line
with the 'ailerons' because they are locked together
and operate in unison.

at least on mine.

On the ASW 20 I used to own a share in (German, early
model), everything was flush in the neutral (flap
3)
position, I've seen a lot of 20's and I do not recall
seeing any where the flaps lined up with the wing
root
in full negative. Oh, and to get back on topic, the
spin characteristics were quite benign with a forward
CofG but it wouldn't climb very well at all.

I believe the LS-6 does it that way (flaps and ailerons
all even in full
negative flap position) my recollection of the 20
is that everything is
even at
zero flap and zero stick. One can set it up as one
wishes, but one may be
dialing in undesired consequences.
I remember the Boeing engineer who told me, 'Aircraft
are designed by
geniuses
to be operated by idiots'.
