with Super Cub wings installed, this thing is a kite and seems to take
forever to finally touch down...
Spoilers like the old T'cart's? A WHOLE lot easier to do than Fowlers
or even slotted flaps. Besides Spoilers are better for glide path
control than flaps anyway - IMHO
For ideas go look at some gliders.
Most homebuilt sailplanes use flaps for glide slope control. The reason?
Ease of construction.
Udo Rumpf's version of an HP-18 is a good example.

These are not Fowler flaps, they are simple hinge flaps. They change the
glide slop from 40 to 1, to about 3 to 1. You won't float with these babes
down!
