I consider myself fairly knowledgeable but I now find myself stumped. I outfitted my SlowPoke with flaperons and maidened her today. I got some altitude, deployed the flaps and she dove hard. I almost did not have time to turn them off and recover. Why did this happen? I was thinking it is due to the ail. being mounted on the outbound section of the wing. I know I did not need them with such a wide wing but I thought with the flaps I could get zero ground speed in a slight breeze.
Anyone have any thoughts?
