Mechanical flaps are way better than electric flaps. I just didn't think it could be possible with a high wing design. At least not with the handle being where it's at. Nothing ground-breaking, not even for Cessna. 150s had mechanical flaps until the late '60s. Ron Wanttaja That Johnson Bar was fun. You had to lift up on it slightly as you pressed in the end button to release the pressure on the catch. If your hand was a bit slippery from that last hamburger you ate at the airport coffee shop, the bar could slip right out of your grip and slam the flaps up in about a nano-second. Great system really, but you had to be careful especially with go-arounds initiated from the flare :-) Dudley Henriques
