Default RE: First time flaps plane.. ideas ?

You can do it to about any plane that has full span ailerons... clip the ailerons between 50% and 60%, the larger part is aileron (outboard) the smaller is flaps.
You can do it wth a Sig Four Star... but I would replace the stock tapered aileron with a constant chord one. increasing control surface area at the tip) The flaps being down would make up for the tip-stall resistance lost by not having the tapered aileron. The increased area of the surface at the tip would possibly improve roll rate.
