my 108-3 with the 260hp on it 3 notches of flaps on take off is good but i lso have wing vortexes landings i com ein at 45 mph with full flaps. i land in my back yard on my 3 acres.
Yeah something is not right. Only 2 flap settings. It's hard to tell but the flap setting at 8:01 doesn't look right. The first setting is further down than that. I bet you have an extra notch filed into your flap stop track. Also what are those seats out of? I have never seen seats that tall in a Stinson.
The tall seats are by STC (which I do have.) I'm not sure about the flap settings. It was like that when I bought it. I have had several other people tell me they have three also. Not sure what it's all about but I measured and I do have only the maximum prescribed flap travel. I've been told it's an intermediate takeoff setting??
Some 108-3s have 3 notches of flap. That setting at 8:01 on the video is the flaps at the first setting and that looks like what I get on my airplane. 1948 108-3
@@stitch3338I'm sure there are some 108s with three notches. My point is that this is not how they left the factory. The manual only talks of three positions. Up, takeoff and landing. I also have a 48 108-3 and it is as described in the manual.
I've had this question before on the forum. It was like this when I bought it. Others have reported having 3 also. I have the STC paperwork and flap handle extension. I believe the third notch is part of the flap handle extension. I don't believe it adds any further flap extension, but just adds an additional 2nd notch inside the range.
note i also have owned this pane since 1973 paid 1800 for it with the franklin which is in the corner of my hanger

How do you have 3 notches of flaps? Every -3 ive flown has only 2.

Some "Modified" the flap to add another notch. Not legal but definatly many have been "Modified" @@LAOutdoors
I have a 108-3 that also has three notches.
Dont like power off approaches?
I do those too. This is kind of the normal throttle back to xx rpm and pull power when the runway is assured. I have minimum power on the approach.
