Now, if I want to build without flaps (for now), should I use the full-length for aileron, or still split it and make the (future) flap area stationary?
What I would do is make them the entire length, add the torque rods (even if you're not using them for ailerons) and add an extra hinge or two so that when the time comes, you just need to remove a 1/16" gap from the strip, and you have two control surfaces ready to go.
