Hi. This might be a dumb question but has anybody ever looked into putting flaps on a TOO? I was thinking a split flap hinged aft of the main spar with a torque tube to operate it and maybe to allow more than one setting. That would reduce the stall speed and improve the short field landing capability by making the approach steeper right I'm no aircraft engineer so please be gentle with your comments! Cheers G
