The 4* planes work well when using flaperons to achieve tight loops, square corners and other related aerobatics. Little chance of tip stalling with that hershey bar wing.
Other wing designs, some warbirds and aerobats for instance, can be very problematic when flaperons are brought into the landing sequence. Many of those wing designs stall at the wing root first and the stall works it's way out towards the wing tip when slowing for landing. Using flaperons increases the angle of attack at the wing tip which makes the tips more prone to stalling which in turn renders the ailerons ineffective just at the wrong moment. Once the wing tip stalls the entire wing is stalled, almost always one wing before the other , the plane rolls over violently and well.......
