Just a slight
correction. Flaps on planes are used to increase lift and reduce stall
speed. While lowered flaps do increase drag and therefore would slow down
a plane without any additional increase in power, they are not intended to be
used for slowing down. You'll note that when a plane takes off, flaps
are lowered even though the plane is trying to gain speed.

Hi Frank,
The Deep Flight subs
are much like a sports car, they tend to be for the enjoyment of the ride and
the viewing of the scenery. Were the K boats are more like a small pick-up
truck, for a larger variety of uses. That's a large part of why I want
to have use of my K-250 and my future sub called Batic THUWG ( Trimaran
Hydrobatic Underwater Glider). Much like you have your car and
motorcycle. Planes using flaps to slow them down for landing, is nothing new.
I'd like to try it on my second sub. They move thru air, we move thru
water.
Regards,
Brent
