Default RE: Knowing the pitfalls of flaperons...

I maiden the first flight for my Seagull Decathlon today. I have it set up with flaperons. Wasn't planning to use it. To make the story short - I ended up using the flaperons for the landing. It really slowed it down. I brought her in at quarter throttle - cut throttle couple feet off the ground - kept wings level as possible - and she just floated right in.
