Default More STOL experiments

Hi everybody,

I'm doing a little science experiment in a few weeks, just for fun.

Many of us have done slotted flaps on our models, most easily built with a simple Robart hinge point, where the hinge hangs below the wing.

I wanted to experiment with double-slotted flaps, and eventually triple-slotted flaps, simply because I haven't seen anyone else do it.

So, if you're interested in following along, the article is at http://www.nextcraft.com/j46_highlift01.html

I'll be using the flap design in the attached image, and we'll see where it goes from there. This model will also use spoilers (slot-lip ailerons) for roll control, and have a T-tail... Why not?
