The Xtra wing uses flaperons.
The Classic wing uses seperate flaps and ailerons.
Was the use of flaperons to save weight, complexity, or parts count???
And would the flaperons cause a bit more adverse yaw than ailerons?

Just guessing here, but I would think flaperons would be used to get the
best of both worlds: Maximum surface area for flaps (lower stall speed),
and maxiumum roll authority.

Jim:
In the real world of Kolb, it works just the opposite.
Flaps and ailerons perform better on the mkIII.
