Default RE: Spoiler and flaperons

I finally got to fly the fazer on the weekend and test out the spoileron and flaperons. The spoilerons didn't work real well. The stalled to wing almost immediately and made the wing rock worse than ever before. Very hard to control in elevators especially. However I think this has more to do with the plane itself. I don't think it is really a 3d model!!! However the flaperons worked a treat. Very tight loops!! On high rates I think they were only about 6 feet diameter. I could slow the fazer down to a crawl without they slightest hint of a stall. I think in a bit of wind I could make it fly backwards.. This makes for really slow landings too.

I haven't tried any other thing with it yet, as I'm still they fine art of flicking switches while flying, and I've mainly been concerntrating on the hover. I want to try a waterfall with it but I'm unsure how to enter into it and what control imputs are needed? Can you guys help me out?? Do you think the flaperons will aid in doing a waterfall?
