Combatpigg im with you,the other post they had going about this,I chose not to say anyting,some planes perform really good with flaperons,I've got 100's of hrs in DH Beaver and they have true flaperons,you lower the flaps 25 deg. you also get 25 degrees ali,there actually consided full span flaps.The plane becomes rock solid,and you can drag um in really slow,and really hard to stall.Another thing about a Beaver its payload is greater on floats then wheels.

Just to clear things a little... I like to use flaps a lot. Not so much for aerobatics, but for slow flight and slow landings. I'm not trying to give anyone the impression that flaps are a bad thing. Was just pointed out a few of their less desireable properties that you have to be careful of so that you have an idea of what to expect. I put flaps on almost any model I can.
