Flaperon: 3 sizes, see table. Flaperons combine aileron and flap functions: a mixer combines separate pilot inputs into one set of surfaces (FAA PHAK ch.6). The Kitfox MK 7 uses them (FAA). Stackhouse cites a flaperon hand-launch glider that 'could roll quite well with no rudder help at all' (CRRC). Full sheet: https://xemstudio.com/objects/flaperon/
