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.

As a glider pilot I agree. This is a perfect suggestion! TJ, find
someone with a set of Wag Aero Sportsman 2+2 plans and copy the spoiler
arrangement.

For the flaps, just copy a Citabria or Super Cub setup. Flaps along
with spoilers give incredible glide path control. You can set up a max
lift configuration with flaps and a moderate power setting to limit
sink, and use the spoilers to fly to the exact spot you want to touch
down. Just like a glider.

The ability to place the airplane exactly where you want it that you get
with spoilers will just about eliminate your fear of engine outs as long
as there is a reasonably sized open space within gliding range.
