Default Flaperons

Hi All,
In a previous post I asked advice about flying a biplane with my limited experience. The replies leaned towards another type of plane. I did get the Sig SE. What a BLAST to fly!! This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you to all who replied and shared their thoughts.
I am seeking advice on flaperons. Can they be used to shorten take offs? Is it safe? I fly from a grass field, the wheel pants seem to slow the plane and it takes longer to lift off when the grass gets tall before it is mowed. In this situation, would it be a good idea to use the flaperons?
