RE: Flaperons?
You guys are wrong . The flaperon function is spelled out in black and white in my FUTABA manual. Flaperons are a variable airfoil control sceme that work in conjunction with the elevator to basically tighten up your loops. A spoileron or for that matter a spoiler anything is used for dumping speed and are not coupled to the elevator. Coupling the FLAPS tothe ELEVATOR was first done by controlline stunt guys to execute square corners on inside and outside loops, but this control sceme never had a cute name to go with it until RC guys blended this control sceme into their aileron equipped ships. If I'm wrong, I'll have to send an emergency memo over to the PROFILE BROTHERHOOD and tell all 400 of them to drop everything so that they can reprogram their planes for SPOILERON CONTROL! Where is that SPOILERON SWITCH at anyway?
