Default RE: Spoilerons combined with elevator

You have to be very careful using flaps and a side slip. The flaps can disrupt the smooth air over the elevator causing a sudden pitch down, and low to the ground we all know how that turns out. Cessna's are very susceptible to this and if you notice in the video the slip was quite a bit less then the A/C is capable of doing. If you are going to try this with any A/C definitely practice it at altitude.
