My flaperons have the split between the inboard and outboard sections too. If set up the way zenith calls for,,, the outboard, which are really the ailerons the nuetral setting puts them at about true flat with the airflow, the inner sections are the flaps and they are deployed all the time by that 20 mm amount. I rigged mine so that all the travel was determined by the limit switches, thus letting me go into reflex just by moving the flaperons in the full up position. All I did was to move the limit switch an 1/8" or so to disable that concept. Flying my beast in a nose high attitude was a bother to me visually and it slowed mine down too. Your plane might act differently then mine did. YMMV

Hi, Ben,
Do you have the 20mm split between inboard and outboard sections of your
flaperons? I split mine, and it looks like the outboards are "reflexed"
already. Not flying yet, so can't comment on performance, but I'm going to
set my vertical control rods so that I can "reflex" with the flap control,
for experimenting (that's what we do, right?). Probably won't need full
flap extension, anyway, at least not until I get into real STOL training
