Hey all,
I have a great flying T18 that was built to plans with no flaps. Has anyone added flaps after the fact? I'd really like having them for my strip.

I am curious to hear the replies you get. I would assume you would need to move your rear spar forward in order to install the flaps.

Most Thorps were built after JT added the flaps. Flap retro is something I have not done. Not saying it can’t be done. It will just be a lot of work.
