Default Flapperon tips/advice and pics!!

Hey Fellas,

Before I get started I just have to say "hook'em horns" the wife got me tickets to the Rose Bowl this past weekend and what a game... gotta give props to Michigan they played a hell of a game but Texas managed to pull it out. Anyhoo... The wife also got me a world models t-34 for christmas and I had read some threads about folks using flapperons on this particular bird for whatever reason. I thought it sounded like a cool idea since my next bird will have flaps and I had an extra servo laying around so I went for it. I haven't flown it yet, that lovely california rain we've been having but I need some advice on how to and when to use the flapperons. I have a computer radio that has flapperon mixing so, to my question, do I use them just like I normally would use flaps? and how should they be set? I had one of these planes years ago and it flew and landed great without them, I just thought I'd mix it up some and try it out so if any of you fellas have experience with flaps/flapperons advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, I made my own graphics for it, let me know what you think, turned out pretty good I think.

Thanks
Casey
