BV 212-03 kit

I'm going to build a 150% RBC 212 using a Wemotec 90mm/Mega. Obviously the duct size has to change. I'm also thinking of adding flaps (40 to 60 degrees)to help slow this plane down. Will the elevators have enough authority to trim out the flaps? I would like to use electric retracts - need rotating for all 3 (havn't found any yet). I expect that the weight will be in the 4 to 6 pound range. I also plan to have the wings removable.

Any bright ideas about the flaps and retracts?

Do you think that a 70mm fan could fly a 150% 212? Besides, I would still want rotating gear. There will be 4 servos in each wing - flap, elevator, aileron, & rudder.

Not sure if it will take off from grass, but bunghee lunch would be real. For 90mm I'd make it much larger. The Yak15 flys well on little power as well.
