You've been looking a book about STOL machines, Ken! It looks like a Helio machine but I'm sure it isn't that easy!!!
If I searched an attendee list at a Valdez gathering would I find it?

It certainly has STOL characteristics. Its not a Helio though.
Its possible, but short of looking through a list of attendee's I wouldn't know.
Just checked this years competition and there are not any of these featured in the competition results.

On some of those STOL wings they have mods that draw down the ailerons partly to add the flapeffect and then at around mid-travel the ailerons take effect
Off to have my lunch!

I have to go shortly to do two hours of lecturing - on aerodynamics...
