RE: Fowler Flaps
Flying Models or Model Airplane News magazine Plans Service lists a set of plans for a Fowler Flap arrangement as an enhancement for one of their Airplane plans. There have also been many published ideas to reproduce the action of real Fowler Flaps. A fixed, pinned hinge does not provide a true Fowler Flap, and that includes the hinge set-up sold by Hobby Lobby.
To get an idea of the operation of a Fowler flap, just on your next ride on an airliner, get a seat just behind the wing TE. On some of the planes, you can even see one of the slotted curved tracks the flap rides in to allow it to move out past the line of the TE before it even starts to lower. Take a peek at the Robart part #345 on post 18. They show a set in various stages of deployment.
Probably the only Cessnas I can think of that would use the Fowler flap would be the 1900 used in some commuter and short haul airlines and the Citation. If there are others, I wouldn't be surprised, but seems to me the weight and complexity of the system would keep them out of any small aircraft except for special applications, like STOL.
Anyway, like the Top Flite manual points out, "Simulated" Fowler flaps. Not real Fowlers.
