According to Matthew Gionta, VP of Engineering at Icon (in a post by James Lawrence):

Additionally, these specialized airfoils used for spin resistance were not suited to the no-flap wing design ICON had previously planned to use on the A5, so ICON engineers chose to reintroduce wing flaps to preserve takeoff performance on the water.

Not again. Frankly, I think they are on a fool's errand: trying to create an uncrasheable airplane to be flown by a recreational boater. If Icon A5 ever ships, the target clientele will fly in a hazardous manner, they will crash, and they will sue. The money thrown at the unspinnable airplane whould be better spent to buy a good liability insurance.
