Hi,

Yes, definitely try the flaperons on take-off. I just completed an SE too, and was having some long take-off runs on our grass field. If I had a bit of a head wind it was no problem taking off, but on those very still days it seemed to take forever. I noticed when using the supplied APG (aileron positioning guage) that came with the kit to set the neutral position on the ailerons, it seemed as if the ailerons are up just slightly. I think this makes the plane want to squat and stay put on the ground during take-off. I've since dialed in a few degrees of down flaps for take-off and it will lift right off after a much shorter run. After take-off I simply dial back the ailerons to the neutral position and have a ball.
