Default Flaperon mixing...

I'm new to flaperon mixing.. I have a Speedy Bee ( Sport plane with over 1 to 1 power to weight - light wing loading - big tail surfaces - and big barn door ailerons ) which I'd like to play with flaperon mixing. I'm pretty sure this plane will hang on it's prop but since the ailerons are a little outboad it might torque rool.

My radio is a Hitec Optic 6. Reciever is a Berg 7.

Any ideas how I could flaperon mix for fun?? Should I set it up like a control - line model where the ailerons go down whe the elvator goes up? I hope I can togle flaperon on and off. I'm going to have to study the manal...

How about using the ailerons as slow speed flaps? I have heard that can cause wing tip stall so I'm not too sure about that idea and I don't really need it anway as this thing should fly supper slowly.
