I know the numbers are challenging, and I don't know yet if I can get the plans accepted. I plan however to build this as a 3D model in SolidWorks and run a number of simulations with different configurations first, and hopefully have a report that can confirm stall speed with and without flaps, vortexgenerators, winglets etc. ( I work as a technician with SolidWorks and Simulation, and cooperates with a doctor in Fluid dynamics at a university nearby ) so I can convince the officials.
@ Daniel Heat: ...Do some research on Vortex Generators.... Thanks Dan ! I will try them as well. They reduce stall speed by 8-9 % on a C172, so they certainly helps. Regards Gunnar Olsen
