Default RE: Flaperons?

You've got plenty of expert advice from latest input. What I can say is that there's a big change on your CG that is not familiar which affect performance compare from your previous setup. If you remember my post that AOA must be reduced when moving CG backward to avoid early decaying of airspeed. Since you've mentioned that without raising your nose the aircraft is coming in hot, that's because of the energy of an aircraft with lesser drag. You have to accept that you've gain favor control from flight and just familarization on landing. Reduce elevator slightly, hold it and use throttle to control descend rate. Also be careful when landing on windy without reducing AOA. Don't move the CG more back it would make it worse. Better if you move it slightly forward but you can leave it as it is right now if you're comfortable.
