Default Flaperions

Flaperons are when both ailerons drop down at the same time. They basically act like flaps, adding lift and drag, which may help during landings and aerobatics.
The opposite is spoilerons (both go up), which decreases lift and adds drag, like spoilers.

You need a servo for each aileron to use either; there is no way to do it with just one.
