I think someone should close this thing, it's drawing out way too far. Nobody disagrees with what futaba has to say and nobody disagrees that Aileron+Flap mix is not called a flaperon. In fact it was the original definition and thats how the radio manuals list them, however there is a whole world of funfly type of 3D pilots that have defined them as combatpigg and myself defined them. This is an accepted definition in much of the R/C world. If you dont want to accept it then thats fine. Do you really think that two people on exact opposite sides of the country who have never met and have the same definition just dreamed it up? In fact there are a WHOLE bunch of us who define it this way. Most of the other guys dont post in the beginners forum. Go to the 3D forum and the funfly forum and post the question and see what kind of anwser you get.
