You could copy the flap design from the RV-10 or the Glasair series.
Good luck on the slats - those have to be built to very tight
tolerances so they operate at the same time. Differential slat
extension has killed quite a few
people. Also, more than a few people have been killed by having a
slat depart the airframe in flight.


The slat MUST be built with mecanical link to operate together. See
what you can read about french design Morane Rallye ('60 to '80).
This plane had all the features you want.
