There is a problem with the Glasair Super II if you install the slotted flaps and the extended wingtips you can get the stall speed below minimum controllable airspeed (MCA) ... in simpler terms I will be able to get my plane flying so slow that I will not have enough speed to make my control surfaces effective. So have a look at your MCA (I have no idea what it is on a Lancair) and then figure out how slow you really want to go.
