Awesome info, thanks everyone I'll consider this case closed.

Flaperons are ailerons that can both be drooped from typical angle to
act as flaps while retaining independent (opposite motion) control as
ailerons. Many gliders have them, and also have the capability of
reflexing them up at the trailing edge from typical to flatten out the
airfoil's camber l

You refer to flaperons - is that what the original builder did with the
ailerons? Can the angle of both ailerons be changed together to affect
glide path and drag like flaps?

Slop was a poor choice of words, maybe flex describes it better?

It appears you're putting more concern in to this than what problem
exist. My wings and control system are standard plans built, closed
loop cables / pulleys
FWIW, Paul Poberezny once told me there were a number of Piper PA-11s
that came off the assembly line with tailposts inadvertently offset from
centered location by 1/4". He said "The air never knew the difference."
Slop, flex, or looseness could make an airplane more prone to develop
flutter in
Slop was a poor choice of words, maybe flex describes it better? Here's my
thinking, let's say (just throwing out an even number not to be reflected
in actual weight) plane weighs 1000# on takeoff, each wing is tasked with
500# lift (yes I'm aware the canopy ads some), lift is created on the

You don't want "slop" in your aileron linkage. Set the ailerons to

I remember from my days in the RAF ,ailerons were rigged in the "droop"
position. As you say -to take up the slack. Can't remember how much.

Hi guys
I have been reading about the huge benefits that Jeff Scott is getting from
his new flaps and was wondering if anybody had ever tried converting their
ailerons to flaperons. I will not be able to use the stub trailing edges as
flaps due to all my controlls being situated in them. Because of

I was at one time thinking of a flaperon system but found I was using

Flaperons on a short coupled, low wing aeroplane with
very little dihedral is definitely NOT a good idea.
Why?
Not me that wants to do this so not my function to
defend the crazy notion - give me your logic and I
will reply.
