Default FLAPS & AILERONS or FLAPERONS ??

Andrew,

If the goal of your flaperons is to increase drag you might consider using them to reduce lift instead. Kick them up like we are doing on our Bobcats. Using them as "spoilerons" helps to reduce the lift, increase drag, and has the added bonus of increasing stability all at the same time. (Wash in instead of washout)
