I just read and replied to a posting about flaperons and spoilerons. I offered my opinion on these devices and don't really use them. Now, with that said, I do have two planes with real FLAPS, but not Flaperons.

My thoughts on flaperons or spoilerons is that they are often used in landing (mostly used in landing) and by adding some level of flaps, you remove effectiveness from the ailerons because of the amount of flaps added. This happens during a most critical time, during landing. I avoid flaperons and spoilerons, but it's a personal thing.

Now the question for you is if this is a reasonable approach? Do you, in your opinion, feel that these remove effectiveness from the ailerons or am I wrong? or even partially wrong or partially right?

Your ideas, please.

Thanks.
