Flaperons are not really needed on a bipe. Most bipes have a low wing loading and flaperons don't provide any benefit. I've built and flown the Kyosho PT-17 and it's a great flying plane. You need not worry about landing it. If ou can fly the Ultra Stik 60 & 120 then you won't have any trouble with the PT-17. You'll have to watch the take off and be gentle on the rudder. The PT-17 has a narrow track landing gear so it is sensitive to ground looping. Once you have built up speed it smooths out though and you take off like any other plane.

You can read my build and flight report of the Kyosho PT-17 on my web site at http://www.geocities.com/jbrundt2/N2S-1.html
