RE: Flaps or Something Else?
Yep, split flaps, seen on lots of airplanes, the reason for them being simply that in full size they are easy to build, in small deflections add some lift without much drag, and at large deflections add lots of drag without much more lift, (put simply, I know you can't 'add lift' but it makes the explanation simpler...).
