Default RE: Dragon Lady is a keeper!

Yes, flaps can also be used to increase lift on takeoff, but we were talking about landing.

The best way of approaching the situation (for me and my style of flying), is to at least double the chord of the ailerons (front to back dimension for those that don't know) and run a single servo in each wing panel that are commanded by a computerized transmitter with the flaperon and flaperon/elevator coupling features enabled. Without at least doubling the chord of the ailerons, the flaperon function is a complete waste.
