Default RE: Flaperons, GP Dazzler

The characteristics of the aircraft do NOT lend themselves to FLAPS. Even a small input will actually make the plane DIVE.

This makes no sense to me. Why would the aircraft dive if both ailerons are pointing downward. My understanding of aerodynamics dictates an upward lift on the wing, thus making a nose up condition. PLease help!

Maybe I'll forgo the flaps for a bit and give the spoilerons a try.

Thanks for the input Pat!
