ok i am back from my weekend trip and i see many of you have been having a good time in my absence ...
lots of stuff that i feel the need to comment on, this may take some time ...
they're not airbrakes. they do nothing to slow you down. they;re also not on the G or the J.
the 38's flaps mimic the ones in real life. the 38 was designed with maneuvering flaps.
you are incorrect sir the flaps, B-R-A-K-E-S, or whatever else you call them slow you down.
easy to check just deploy any of them (including any follower types) in level flight and see what they do while you maintain level flight. they will slow you down.
they also do other things but they all increase drag(usually several different kinds of drag) and drag reduces your speed "."
