Default Tensor 4D flaperons ????????????????

I am in the process of building a Tensor 4D with a variable pitch prop.
I fly helis generally but couldn’t resist the Tensor.
I have been reading up about foamies and came across an article about Scott Foster and his Animal @ http://www.hobby-lobby.com/animal.htm.

"The airplane uses 2 servos for the ailerons. Can be programmed as flaperons for extremely tight loops and turns"

Could somebody please explain this setup to me.

Many Thanks

I didn’t buy it for high speed pull outs it is more for slow precision flying to help me with my heli 3D

Any setup help would be much appreciated

If you have a computer radio that can program flaperons then yes. You really don't need flaperons on a 3D foam airplane.

I tried this once, flaperons/spoilerons, it was interesting. The Tensor was crazy manuervable, but more is always better - rtght? It sort of rotated around its axis with full flaperons and some throttle. It tumbled but didn't lose any altitude. Interesting!
