I recently followed a link provided by Phil Barnes to a message posted by Dr. Drela. The message was that Dr. Drela did not use aileron (flaperon) differential in DLG planes. The rational was that the differential caused some unwanted pitch changes. My questions concern the application of Dr. Drela's theory to the larger planes.

I wonder whether you all (experts):

1)  still use aileron differential in 2 and 3 meter planes and
2)   still couple the ailerons to the flaps (so they act as flaperons)
