I have my ailerons reflexed about 3 deg up. As I have posted in the past, through testing I found that varying the flap reflex with weight and density altitude could result in a 1.5% change of speed. The higher the density altitude and the higher the weight, the less reflex should be employed in order to increase the wing's camber for the higher required CL. As camber is changed on the NLF1 015F airfoil, the drag bucket moves along with it. You will also have an added benefit of the fuselage angle being reduced which gives better visibility over the nose.
