Default SIG Rascal 40 (forty) with flaps ?

I'm just finishing-up building a Rascal Forty ARF..... hoping to get the first flight in this weekend. I've heard that the Rascal loves to float and tends to land very long. So, I have set it up with flaperons but I could just as easily program them as spoilerons (The Rascal has outboard ailerons only)
I am wondering if anybody else is flying the Rascal 40 with flaperons and/or spoilerons and how effective they have been at reducing speed and killing lift on this bird.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers
