Flaps and Leading Edge Slats parts idea

To be able to fly at slower speeds and it would work on the same controls for both control surfaces so when ask to put the controller down both flap and slats go down

    It really would be easy to do in a 1.6 release, coding is there for adding flight controls (elevator, ailerons and rudder). There are some airplanes out there which are XML modded to include the control options for flaps/slats (VTOL). You wouldn't even have to make it automatic to reverse the control surface on the opposite side, you could just select the existing "invert" command from the current menu for the opposite wing. Plus, the aerodynamic effects are already resident in the game (more drag with control surface deflection, plus the airflow/pitch up/pitch down deflection). Not sure about reducing the stall speed, though.
