There is a fair amount of discussion here about reflex (negative) flap settings, and their effect, mostly for the RV10. Not mentioned for the RV12. When my flap(eron)s are fully retracted, I can push the button and move the handle down a bit. It won't stay there unless held (no slot) but it makes for about a 3 to 4 degree change on the flaperon. If I do it in flight, I get a substantial pitch up- about 5 degrees.
I haven't done an extended cruise check, I am wondering if anyone else has (or the factory.) Might this work out to a knot or two or three if cruising in this position? (Oops, I mean the benefit of cutting power to stay at a 120 kt cruise...)
I intend to run a check the next time I go up. Others?
