Default Flaperon Question

I have ordered a Wing Mgr A-26, 68 inch wing, 53 inch fuse. I hope to power it electric consequently I trying to save weight. The question is can I use flaperons in lieu of conventional flaps and the associated servos?

The question should be better stated as; will flaperons provide the performance required to fly this aircraft comfortably? Do I need to increase the size of the ailerons to provide the extra area needed for flaps?

Your knowledge and advise will be appreciated.
