Default RE: Spoilers/Spoilerons

Spoilerons are made possible by a 2-servo aileron setup. both ailerons go up to lessen the lift of the wing (they can also be set up to both travel down [flaperons])... in either direction the ailerons still function to some degree.

Spoilers are control surfaces on the wing that lessen the lift of the wing.

either configuration helps bleed off extra speed for a smoother landing.
