Flaps reduce stall speed some 10 mph+ (depending on weight), making for a Clmax increase from ~1.3 to ~1.65. They might be draggy (for flaps), but not as draggy as they look.


Interesting. At an 85 degree angle of the flaps I’d have thought that any reduction in the stall speed would be offset by the increase in drag and would make it nastily prone to a wing tipping over. 
 

This is a nice short article setting out the general characteristics of the 109:
