Full-span flaperons as airbrakes?

I don't know of any sailplane design that uses full span single surface flaperons. LS6 & 10 have full span flaperons. Actually, built in two pieces and hinged separately (due to a kink in the trailing edge), but linked together and driven by one pushrod per side. No fancy mixer, landing flaps puts the entire training edge down about 15 degrees which adds a useful about of drag while keeping good aileron control. But the 6's landing flap in no way compares to the ASW-20, Ventus B, HP, PIK, etc. Those are FLAPS! Kirk 66
