Default More STOL experiments

It _would_ be a good idea to take more photos to document the STOL wing construction. The outer wing panels do not have the fixed slots sheeted (just "framed up"), and this would be a one-time opportunity to show that construction.

I'd do the slots differently the next time-- these built-up slots are too labor-intensive and will be a nightmare to repair if there is ever a mishap. I'll use a different method on the next STOL plane (a scale Storch).

Five or so years ago we had a massive discussion on RC* about STOL techniques. I have the printed version somewhere at home, but the electronic version is long since turned to aether. Let me see what can be done to share that archived material.

Hop on in, folks...
