The thing would land slow gosh darn slow withoutt flaps that flapperons were kinda stupid and flying that slow all I found they did was reduce aileron authority to almost nil.
I would have though flapperons is the way to go but I could program in spoilerons in about a minute. Then of course get three mistakes high, and play with them a bit.
But if I can finish to two projects on the bench now, I might play with the nararjilizer design just to see what it might do for the plane in general.

You can't really compare foamies performance with a 2m pattern plane......my foamies will land from an elevator maneuver without any forward speed, I would try that with my pattern plane!
Adjusted properly spoilerons are perfect for this application, sliding the plane for somebody that's starting competition might be very overwhelming with the added pressure of scoring landing point.....one may setup the plane badly on final if there's a strong crosswind/turbulence and getting much worse when he then try to recover....
Flaps all they do is increase lift at a reduce speed, which in this case you would just need to dive even more, don't think full scale putting a full size in a slide is much easier and pretty natural since your ass will (should feel) what your doing
