Looking for others experince using flaps -
My Sonex Legacy has the standard (large flaps) arrangement.
I only ever use flaps 1&2 - 3 doesn't seem to do anything much and is very hard/heavy to select.
I, as you would expect, makes by far the most change to low speed handling.
2, just seems to add drag - which is useful on late final.
Stall speeds - 40 knots clean, Flap 1 -37 knots , Flap 2 - 37 knots, Flap 3- 37 knots
