I would not deploy the flaperons downward, as you would when you want to increase lift. I deploy them upwards in order to kill lift. By killing the wing's lift, one has to increase the angle of attack and carry a lot of power, with it still being a losing proposition (altitude that is).

I'm not the least bit scale oriented and I always find myself thinking outside of the box. Competition fun flying some fifteen to twenty years ago taught me a lot about thinking outside of the box. <G>
