I have been thinking a lot of different flap lately and i need some advise. I ask couple of questions for flaperon, topic and project i am thinking is here: https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/...s-new-technology/10326-flaperon-question.html
I order my own copy of TOW and find out how good that book really is somebody like me. I really want to build that plane and keep that excellent roll rate, so here comes question: I build whole span fowler flap. Flap nose will be just before aileron hinge point when retract. I got those full span (12 % chord) ailerons that work like some kind of spoilers when flaps retract. Could it work? Is there enough power for some kind of aileron effect left in this highly turbulent area?
I understand that aileron travel down does not effect nothing and don`t even disturb that flap gap/air pressure because flap nose is before aileron hinge point and aileron travel down is only 1 inch (6 inch wide aileron). Aileron travel up is 2 inches and i think that might give some effect.
