If you had been diligently reading my build log you would have known that I don't have a scrap piece of wood large enough to carve into a form for heat shrinking. Its like you don't even hear me anymore...
You were right, FM.

I am always a little wary of big flaperons in a true STOL application where the plane is taken well below the 'clean' stall speed.
The laws of aerodynamics suggest that at model sizes slats are of little benefit.
Unless you have a greatly exaggerated gap the airflow through the slot is so restricted by the boundary layer as to have very little influence on the airflow over the wing.
With a wide gap the slat itself can add significantly to the effective wing area so reducing the stall speed.
It will be interesting to see your results.
This is all getting very serious!
