Foam core slat, wing, solid spoileron, and core flap. Simply sheeted and hinged. Internal slat structure is prefab with proportional movement with the flap. Foam cores are hot wired to fit coves without the builder/assembler having to do more than sheet the surfaces.

Wanna help you out here with the correct terminology: Per the NATOPS flight manual, "Flight Controls" section, "The flight control surfaces consist of a slab stabilizer, a rudder, and upper wing surface spoilers called flaperons (emphasis added) - not spoilerons. In post #15 above, again per the NATOPS flight manual, "The wingtip speed brakes..." - not decelerons.

Lastly, your depiction of the flaps may create a challenge for potential scale customers. Per the NATOPS manual, "The wing flaps are semi-Fowler type slotted flaps..." - not the split flaps shown in the diagram.

Hope this helps you. With a few thousand hours in this A6 series, I look forward to seeing this project fly.
