Was the center wing flap bolted up? I know it makes a positive difference in handling during landings-I know (no issue in this instance because it is in Iceland) that in the past, our duly appointed FKIA's from the Forever Fouled up Anarchy have fined and/or grounded DC-3/C-47's in the U.S. for doing that

As for the video

Nice Vid, had pretty good sound. Often those little handheld cameras just get blown out by the "music", that one kept fidelity pretty well! Rumbled my bass speaker pretty well!!! :shock:

Great vid!

These pics shameless stolen fron Airliners.net show a couple of structures under the centersection, blocking the middle portion of the center flap. I have no idea what they are.

Thanks! I thought it might be some sort of aerial application rig. I think probably every possible modification that can be done to an airplane has been done to a Gooney at som point.
