I have a question about flaperons. I have a Bobcat with a MW44 on it. I have flown if off of concrete and grass but it is hard to get it up off of a grass runway. I moved the main gear forward, raised the nosewheel and tried flaperons the other day. It took off much quicker. I landed the first time without flaperons and had no problem but on landing the second time with flaperons on it pancaked in and broke one of the landing gear blocks. I have been reading earlier threads that flaperons cause it to dive because they work like an elvator. That may be what happened on landing, however, it was pretty windy so I'm not totally sure that was the problem. I am going to try reversing them on the next flight. What I am wondering would that also help on takeoff since they seem to be working as an elevator?

Thanks for any help.
