Default RE: Flaperons or not?

I gave you the bottom line. Twinman and ScaleOnly4Me gave you the explanations.

Flaperons cause sluggish aileron response, adverse yaw, and if you use flaperons you are asking for a low-speed, low-altitude tipstall leading to a monokote bag of splinters.

Real flaps are great. Flaperons are not.
