I have finally finished and flown the flap wing. It so far has 3 flights on it and I consider it to be sucessful. There is still some minor flight trimming to be done as it drops the same wing every time in a stall and needed a bit of aileron trim to fly straight. But all in all it flies well. The flaps are more effective than I was expecting them to be, takeoffs are now about 5 feet and it just levitates off of the ground. Landings with flaps require a bit of power of else the high rate of descent makes for a nasty touchdown. With flaps down and ailerons up, the descent angle is fairly steep, as opposed to the stock J-3 where floating around on landing was the norm. I have a few more pics of the completed wing included.
Now it is time to strip the fuse and convert it to a -18 fuse.
