You need to be very carefull with flaperons. I would suspect that the KR would be very susceptible to a spin if you had flaperons. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't take the chance without having someone that knows what they are doing take a look at it.

That is when I decided to go with a plans aileron system and possibly a belly board. First thing to think of is that you will need additional downward travel of the ailerons to still have full aileron travel when both are extended as flaps. I don't think plans ailerons will allow this much travel so you will have to have wider gaps on the bottom of the wing to aileron. Langford style ailerons would probably work best. I think I have a drawing of the flaperon control that I was planning on using which consisted of torque tubes and a moveable (forward and rear) bell crank. I'll see if I still have it and post it to my website.
