RE: torgue for articulated rudders

I'm not convinced that a flap would have to be locked when reversing.
Firstly, it's not really possible to lock a flap.
Secondly, the rudders are in operation all over the world - they work.
Thirdly, the way to handle a reversing would be to deflect the rudder a bit less so that it doesn't stall.
