Mystery Flaps Identified In Less Than 30 Minutes! (Melmoth 2)
Peter Garrison's Melmoth 2 homebuilt with snazzy fowler flaps and tracks
As it sometimes happens, someone popped the correct answer out in this Name The Plane contest almost immediately... congrats to @FiveFs for knowing that the tighter cropped picture of those unique flaps belong to Peter Garrison's Melmoth 2. Both Peter and the airplane are very interesting, and I encourage you to follow along his often detailed journey in the life of this pretty unusual airplane at his website melmoth2.com.

I'm planning to do a full post on the airplane before long, and I figured having this little ID contest would be a nice segue. Lots of unusual features, especially for a one-of-kind homebuilt. Check out the short video below showing the flaps running down and back up the tracks. It's pretty slick stuff!
