Default RE: Flapperons/spoilerons which is it?

Thats cool,I may have had too much spoilerons causing them to act like elevons over powering the the elevator.

So whats considered the desirable result of proper flapperon usage. Currently I come in about 3 ft up on one end of the runway and it takes about 400 feet to slow it down enough to set it down gently.I can also come slower nose high in a near stall configuration and it kind of plops down,sometimes If i blip the throttle just right it sets down nicely but most of the time it bounces back up.

Are flapperons going to get me somewhere in between.How do I know whats too much flapperons and whats not enough,am I looking for flat level flight when deployed or nose up attidude.Do I set them up at idle speeds or higher throttle,sorry about all the questions.
