Default RE: how much is too heavy?

For the flaps I wouldn't bother with having a setting for them to move with the ailerons. You will however be giving yourself another safeguard against tip stalls by using them as flaps. Deployed flaps effectively change the incidence of the wing at the root, so the wing will tend to stall there first. A root stall just drops the nose instead of dropping one wing.
