Slingsby Firefly

Slingsby Firefly

Slingsby Firefly

(OP)
Hi,

I need to find out how what kind of high lift device is used on the Slingsby Firefly and how I would have to change it in order to reduce landing speed by 10%.

Does anyone know where I can find information about CLmax and other vital data about this plane?

Thanks,

Clem

RE: Slingsby Firefly

A 10% reduction in landing speed by aerodynamic means crudely implies a 21% increase in ClA, not exactly a small change.

Cheers

RE: Slingsby Firefly

Why not ask Slingsby themselves   Find them in U.K.via google
or just mail to    sales@slingsby.co.uk     Cheers   D W
