Xperimental Variable camber aircraft

Attaching a few pics of a fomie with variable camber wings. The camber is coupled with flaps... Basically leading edge flaps coupled with normal flaps... the model configuration in the radio on the "flaps" channel was critical. It also had normal ailerons , elevator and rudder. Each pair of the LE and the main flaps are operated by one servo. Activating the LE flap and the main flaps did allow the aircraft to fly at a higher AoA and slowly .. Would have to improve on the design to make the whole thing more rigid and try it on a larger aircraft
