Default RE: Effect of simple flaps

Dick is right, there's no real way of knowing (Without having a phenominal understanding of aeronautical physics)

But I can tell you this from my own experience...

I have added flaps to several planes by simply cutting about 1/3 of the inboard side of strip ailerons, and each time I have done it, they worked incredibly well, and DID NOT make any significant loss of aileron control.
