I have read various descriptions of the Quickie and its descendants calling the front wing control surfaces elevators/flaps and the rear wing surfaces ailerons.

Do we have any Quickie family builders or pilots here that can explain how those control surfaces work in practice?

Is there a separate flap lever or is the flap setting just full back stick?

Is there any pitch trim function to the rear ailerons, either manually or perhaps interconnected with the flap lever if there is one?

And why are the ailerons partial span only and inboard?

Thanks!
