Have flown one on occasion and I think it's a very legitimate system. It has to be flown knowing the characteristics of the aircraft in full flap configuration but really full flaps do not have to be used all the time. I think using 1/3 flaps for 95% of the ops is fine. Not sure I would seek one with Rstol unless I had the reason to really have the mod. Although when you do a Vref it does add $10k to the value of the plane
