Johng,

Thanx for the explanation. Now I have another one for you.

On my Ugly Stik (built from a copy to the original version plans), I tried flaperons as an experiment. When deployed the nose pitched down considerably. After flying it that way for about 6 months, I decided to re-cover to change scheme and get rid of hanger rash, nicks, etc.. While I had the wings open, I installed flaps and when deployed the nose now pitches up. Why the difference in pitch between flaperons and flaps? They both deploy fully to 30 degrees.
