Some sections benefit from camber, and some don't. I believe the 2/8 was probably designed to use at least 1 degree, maybe 2. Generically speaking, the thinner sections are usually a bit more critical as to how much camber one can use. Pop a thermal, set your camber at 2 degrees and see how it works for ya...
One of your questions was whether or not to couple the camber to the elevator function. That's not really an airfoil dependant question, but a personal taste question. I used to couple all my models that way, but I have since stopped doing that, and prefer to use my slider for thermalling. (For distance and speed tasks... that's another story) The Stylus has a detent at half travel... that's where I'll set my optimum camber setting for thermal. (If I spend the time to set it up) ;-) That still allows me more throw if I need it... and that's a long drawn out why and when article.... Your other question was whether or not to switch the side slider with the flap stick... NOOOOOO!!!!! If you're used to using the side slider, keep on using it. Don't start putting the camber on the flap stick just cuz some guy won a contest that way once... Using the flap stick for camber was a cheater fix for the older Junior radios... and it makes it hard to provide pure rudder input while cambering at the same time. I haven't really looked at the newer JR radios, but I believe they have addressed this issue... 'Bout time!!!! ;-) Just pokin some fun at the competition...
