Im sure this one been covered somewhere.
But i was doing a bit of reading on the george and found this:

A unique design feature was wing flaps which operated automatically to increase "lift" when necessary during extreme maneuvers. The device, operated with electricity and oil pressure using a U-shaped tube containing mercury, was an important factor in the aircraft's maneuverability in combat.

found at the US Airforce museum site http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/air_power/ap18a.htm (http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/air_power/ap18a.htm)

Does the george modelled here do that?
Im too busy getting that spit in my sites than to look at the flap gauge   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
