Default RE: tip stalling issues

Drooping "barn door" style ailerons effectively gives the wing wash-in, not what you want during a landing. Reflexing them gives the wing wash-out. "Crow" is a combination of drooped flaps and reflexed ailerons which effectively gives the wing extreme washout and really puts the brakes on. Very popular with sailplanes that are so clean that they are almost impossible to land without spoilers or crow.
