Automatic Flaperons for Differential Ailerons

Hi guys, 

I've recently fitted APM2.5 to an EPO Eagle Wing (which has no flaps).  It's set up with differential ailerons (CH1 and CH6 on function 18) and was wondering if there is a way of using the APM to add a mild flap mix from the Automatic Flaps feature into the aileron outputs (to act as flaperons) to assist with takeoff and landings?  The plane is at the heavier end of its load capacity so think this could be useful.

I have read through the APM:Plane instructions and searched this forum so thought I'd try posting here.

I realise flaperons are not as good as dedicated flaps (prone to tip stalling) but would be interested in experimenting.

I'm really pleased with APM2.5 and the v2.74b firmware - impressed how well it flies with virtually no tuning.  Excellent work by the developers!

Thanks,

Tom
