Default Flaperons

For short runway landings, if your radio has a flaperon setting and a free mix, landing spoilers are a better bet.

I mix throttle->flaps and set the flaps to move upward as spoilers when the throttle is retarded past half way. The setting is set to my landing switch. The spoilers drop down on application of power. Start with about 10-15 deg up flap and progress from there.

This set up works very well on windy days.
