I'll second that. Honest, and run a squared away outfit.

it looks like the SQ2 has flaperons. Is that right? Looks like a hoot to fly.

nope, has flaps and ailerons both. They are just humongous. From the video, it looks dangerous as hell to fly rather than a hoot...IMHO

It does look like the ailerons droop with flaps doesn't it. I assume that's what you meant?

yea that's what i meant

Excuse my ignorance but what is a flaperon then. I thought it was when the ailerons drooped down with the flaps.

A flaperon is one flight control surface that acts as both a flap and an aileron. Delta wing aircraft have elevons for instance. I think a V tail Bonanza has ruddervators , you get the idea.
