Default RE: Help Huge wing loading

Right! The plan is flaperons going full width. When flaps are down roll controll comes from differential pitch on rotors. When rotors rotate past 60 degrees flaps will move from 85 degrees to about 45 degrees. At this point aileron controll should take over.Then as speed builds the rotor pods will move to full horizontal and flaps will retract fully. I think I need a computer on board to read airspeed and not allow pod rotation untill a certain airspeed the like the real one!! Wishfull thinking. I was however thinking of wiring in a reed microswitch with a a air flap at the end ,Low airspeed switch normally off. Higher airspeed switch will open and allow pod rotation. Just fearfull that complexity will reach the point that failure is emminante.
