Default RE: Spoilers/Spoilerons

Ned is talking about various uses of mixing, ie elevator->flap or elevator->spoiler mixing, which is not the same as just having flaperons or spoilerons or what have you.
Right,

Thats why I opened with this statement

Flaperons, Spoilerons typically in RC aerobatics planes is talking about ailerons that react via a mix to what the elevator is doing.


Now real planes that actually had flaps but the scale model is only equipped with ailerons or I suppose anywhere a preson wanted to take advantage of ailerons working on independant servos, sure flaperon/spoilerons can be used as an on/off thing and varied via a slider or dial.

I was strictly referring to how they are typically used for aerobatics.
