A very good book "The Flower Flap". A engineering hand book, By Harland
Fowler.
It has 90 pages of information about the history and engineering
Info. about the Fowler Flap. A good book for the aircraft Designers
and Builders.
I have used it for many years.
Sold by Aircraft Design Inc. Was $42.00

I am presently in the process of converting a PA-22 to a Sportsman 2+2.
Plans call for new wings to be buillt from scratch and I am
considering the use of Fowler flaps rather than conventional for
greater lift, reduced stall speed, steeper landing approach and better
angle of attack/ visibility while landing. Can anyone suggest a link
or reference for plans or explanation of construction of such flaps?.
Have found little on construction techniques on the net to date.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. TJ
