Ole Rømer a Danish astronomer measured the speed of light by observing Io's eclipse from different point of Earth's orbit. He got a value of 220,000 km/s which is 26% less than the actual value. How does this happen in flat Earth model where planets are smaller and much closer? Do light slow down because aether or something?

The speed of light is a variable, and not a constant.
It varies according to the density of aether and ether.
Aether = medium through which ether flows
Ether = subquark strings/telluric currents
It is the only way to explain not only the much smaller size of the planets, but also ham radio distance to the moon measurements:

The measurements attributed to O. Romer were invented at least some 80 years later, as part of the falsified chronology of history.
The first link of my previous message addresses this very issue, using as the main tool Gauss' Easter formula.
From the second link, we find out more details about the errors inherent in "Romer's" measurements.

And in the third link, the most direct proof is presented, as it relates to the falsification of O. Romer's biography.

Under normal conditions the speed of light and radio waves is a constant.
Are you saying that measurements by radio waves/radar and laser of the distance from the earth to the moon for example, are inaccurate ?
-
"Normal conditions" assume a constant and uniform air pressure, among many other things. They're good for a high-school-level approximation of reality, but not much else.

But you could measure the speed of light using your own microwave oven http://orbitingfrog.com/blog/2008/05/13/measure-the-speed-of-light-using-your-microwave/ and all measurement is always 290,000 - 300,000 km/s. So even if the speed of light is variable (which i highly doubt) there's no way that light slow down that high without we noticing something that obvious doing it.
Or maybe you could explain how small and closer is the planets in your model? I've seen many model about the flat Earth and if they are as big and as far they are like in the round Earth model, time zones and Moon phases wouldn't work.

If you "highly doubt" the the most trivially observable facts in science, then we probably shouldn't trust you when it comes to related matters.
