Default RE: What are Flapperons???

Oh yeah.. you are so right. I had a Goldberg Wildstick with real flaps and, of course, ailerons. This thing could reverse directions in it's length (it seemed) when I applied full flaps.. I could deploy them, then pull in full elevator and it would just flip over in the opposite direction.

The loop rate was so much fun. It was a cool plane with the flaps... but these were not flaperons.. I had full control of the ailerons. Different from flaperions.
