Franklin,

Thank you for your post. All help is appreciated.:

However...

Spoileron: While it is true NAVAIR 01-85ADA-1(1-45) refers to spoilerons as flaperons. All branches of the service tend to name/rename aerodynamic devices and functions to make it their own. Clicking Spoileron will link you to the aeronautical definition of that word/function.

Flaperon: Flaps which function through “X” % of the aileron movement. On the B-47 flaperon function in unison with the aileron until the aileron exceeds 25% of travel.

Deceleron: Are devices originally intended to aid in roll control as well as reduce airspeed during final descent, Decelerons are typically located at or near wing tips due to the lack of available space elsewhere. We provide information for acrivating the decelerons. That area of the wing is a vacuum formed piece included with each model. We chose to not design in the deceleron due to someone could literally stall during the approach...aka crash. However functionality could be achieved if coupled to the electric brakes upon touchdown..

Flaps on the MAC6's are not extended trusses as found in the Fowler flap. Viewed from the top the MAC6's give the visual illusion of the Grumman A6 trusses ahead of each telescoping truss. The 1:1 A6 flap leading edge is painted red because it is a pinch zone hazard...and is visible when the flaps are deployed. If we were to replicate the Fowler flap truss...believe me we tried several configurations...it was judged to not be practical or safe..

Because the leading edge of the flap is exposed...its red surface contributes to an illusion the flap has moved rearward as it is lowered. The 1:1 image below looks the same as our flaps do.
