I wish you'd used them on camera. Thicker, more vertical sheets should, theoretically, ablate less surface area before becoming junk, since the inside of each flap can not easily contact the work. They look impressive though, and I'd love to try them them to really know.
The hub configuration shown is an A27. A straight configuration is classified A1. A flap disc that is tapered is classified A29. The flap disc was originally designed to bridge the gap between aluminum oxide wheels, (sometimes called ‘hard’ wheels), and traditional thin sanding discs that require a backing pad. Flap discs can be used for stock removal in addition to “blending” transitions and can navigate some restricted spaces simultaneously.

That's a great point, I didn't go into the different configurations of flap discs. Thanks for the info!
can we have a link?
I've used the 7" and they are impressive compared to a normal disk. Thanks Catus
