Shoestring Flaperons?

Anyone use flaperons on a Shoestring? Pros/Cons? Does it help with slowing this bird down?
Just curious before I start building.

Thanks,

The Shoestring was DESIGNED to be a race plane. What do you want to slow it down for?

I guess he wants to land the thing! :eek:

Exactly Dogz. I wouldn't suggest using flaps on a plane in mid flight w/ WOT. I have seen the disasterous results of high speed flap usage. [&:] Not pretty.[:'(]

I like speed as much as the next guy, but not when landing. :)
