Who would go to all the trouble without actual real numbers on the aero?

This could be stillborn when the aero goes all wrong.

Sometimes tech stuff looks cool, and I am sure factories use it on some models partially because it looks cool. That doesn't mean someone without the proper design tools should mess with this stuff except maybe the mechanism. The flap design and its behaviour need real data to do it without possible adverse effects.

I am digging a SARD fixed wing which is functional at highway speeds. The added drag, high cost and possible ridicule from people for having a "rice wing" has held me back, though I stumbled on a missed deal for what looks to be the right price for a copy.
