I am a glider pilot and well aware of the complex interactions. I luv the positive reflex of the aileron with landing flaps deployed. I wished there was a way to do this on the takeoff roll as well (Where you are also slow, but without flaps). I am building a IV-P. I plan to put on the winglets. I understand a side effect of the winglets are increased stick load for banks. Many gliders that extend their wingspan extend the ailerons as well. I was wondering if anyone has considered an aileron extension embedded in the winglet to get a little better roll authority. r.t.s
