The cowl flap / speed brake provides another mechanism to steepen the approach in addition to a slip.Assuming you do it correctly, otherwise it turns what should be an orderly glide to approach into a plummeting spine-splintering slam to the ground. That's assuming you don't pitch the nose over and end up with your engine in your lap.They are a safety feature to give additional, approach angle control to augment a slip if needed.
I'm getting you are set on doing this and I've said all I can as to why there is a better than even chance that it will work out as nicely as you think it will.. If you don't mind my asking, can you PM me your address as I have a release form I would like you to sign before you pursue this any further.
