Why do people keep saying this? The Knife is very capable of 10 feet takeoff's with NO flaperon mixing at all... I rarely used the flaperons on takeoff unless I wanted a 3 foot takeoff and even then they weren't near 50%. About the only thing I used flaperons on were waterfalls and harriers...

What engine are you using?
