I was privy to a discussion between Joe Wurts and Jim Frickie a few years
ago.  The discussion concerned the position of flaps and ailerons during
launch.  Joe stated the flaps and ailerons should droop the same amount to
reduce the drag between the interfering surfaces.  It seems the same would
hold true for the thermal mode.  Shouldn't the flap and ailerons move the
same amount to keep drag to a minimum where the flap and aileron meet?

The other mix I often find missing is using the flaps as ailerons. The
flaps should be moving with the ailerons at 30-50% of the aileron travel.

If you get the ailerons and flaps moving together and put in elevator to
camber mixing, you will be amazed at how much nicer your model flies.
