RE: Flaperons Pros and Cons
I totally agree with Minnflyer here. I HATE flaperons. IMHO they cause more problems than they solve. They will make the plane more prone to tip stalling and crashing on approach. I would stay away from them.
I have the Escapade and I can backup what Minn says, it's a Puddy-tat to land. I wouldn't worry about it at all as it's very gentle to land.
However, there is an alternative if you absolutely want to have flaps. As said above, the plane can be set up for either single or dual aileron servos. You could install the dual servos for ailerons and cut the inside portion of the ailerons. Then use the torque rod setup and the single aileron mount to turn them into flaps. Then you can have both ailerons and flaps on the same wing, and stay away from flaperons.
