WHIZZINGB 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 i was wondering if you could extend only one flap in air battles i was watching a video on the yak 9t and saw this from 4:13 to 4:16 the only flap extended is the left so i was wondering if it is possible to do so and if it is how do you do it.

Gavin_Mactavish 943 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 Its very possible to use one flap. Speed up. Deploy flaps at high speeds. Break one flap off. Slow down. Use the other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vescolar 102 Report post Posted September 12, 2018 No, you cannot use flaps individually. When there is one flap broken and you decide to switch to landing flaps it will send the signal to both flaps but since one is broken it will not have any effect on that flap but it will on the other one. Using one flap only is not beneficial in any way, it will only make your plane roll if you activate it. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatslide 15 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Indeed aircraft have safety systems built in to prevent the operation of flaps asymmetrically as it will cause big problems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
