Re: Wing recommendations for my Exp. Pacer. Need some advice.
D&E wings. 66" wide ones. Big flaps. big ailerons. Saw a guy in Valdez that has one and it is a beast. They did a 30" stretch but he said he would rather have the 22" stretch on the fuse.
The only thing that will prevent a moose stall is your feet keeping the plane coordinated. VGs will help some with an accelerated stall but wont prevent it.

Since it is an experimental, what about moving the ailerons out to the tips and using extended Keller (PSTOL) flaps from Airframes AK?

Al,
The new wings have the ailerons out to the wingtips and the flaps enlarged to 90".

Wow, long flaps! Is that with the ailerons moved out 24"? Are the flaps actuated with one bellcrank each in the middle hinge or 2 bellcranks? How about some good pictures and details on the wing mods that you ended up doing?
Thanks,

Yes, that is with the ailerons out to the wingtips. New wings have four flap hangars with two bell cranks.

What did you do to the wing structure to strengthen? Any assembly pictures?
