Wolfgang,
'Tain't that simple..........
It could be done only as the flap is put into reflex as one does not want
the ailerons extended below the wingtip as the flaps go down as this can make it
easier to stall the wing tip. Reflex ailerons would be possible
by a mechanism to lessen the length of the linkage between sticks. This
assumes that when one is in a fully reflexed banked turn there
still is enough travel in the upgoing aileron (reduction of lift) and, even
though the down going one may not go below the wing tip, lift will
occur because it is going out of reflex. Now, one need only consider the
effect of this on stall propagation and CG issues.

Pursuant to my last post, if you have a look at my YouTube video
entitled "San Diego Lancair," as the plane accelerates away from the
helicopter shooting the footage, you can see how far up the flaps are
reflexed. The ailerons are also reflexed to line up with the
outboard end of the flaps. This has proven to be the best
configuration for my particular aircraft.
