Default S.T.O.L. flaps

Well, the original thought was to make the flaps an extension of the airfoil when not extended. The, a section would rotate to the rear and down. It would be hinged to rotate about 1/2 to 3/4 inch below the lower surface. It would rotate through something like 30 to 45 degrees.

I don't like leading edge slats as the model is sort of small, and there is no room for such fabricating.

Would this work, or is something wrong with the thought?
