Default RE: Flaperons on LA1

Pete-

My buddies and I from the Charlotte area (20 years ago) used to used spoilerons on landing with similar models such as Atlanta's, Avanti's and Aurora's. About 3/32" up aileron defection worked wonders to get into our tight practise field. We tried flaperons but we all felt spoilerons felt more positive and worked better. We picked up the tip from the K-factor newsletter so at some point there must have been some well known fliers using the technique.

Let us know what you do.
