Yeah well flaperons weren't the best choice during a dead stick. There's nothing wrong with flaperons, in fact when set up right and used properly they're a lot of fun and quite useful at times.

CitatioN10, my advice is to program the flaperon mix without the elevator to start and only use a tiny bit of throw to start with, you can manually counteract the added lift with the elevator until you get used to it, and then add more throw until you get the results you want.
