I vaguely recollect the factory tested a classic with this mod years ago.
It turned out the airflow was much worse than with no root extensions.
Worth asking them about it.

Similar but new subject:
I have been thinking of instead of bringing the flap root extensions to fit
1/4 inch from the fuselage. Adding a flair out from the fuselage to meet the
flap extensions. This flair could have a trailing edge back to a sharp point
as seen on other GA aircraft. We could leave a slot on the bottom for the
flap tube. Other than looks a dont think their would be any benefits or
losses as it would only stick out from the side an inch or so. Has any
others gone before?
