Why dump the flaps in the ASH 26 which raises the ailerons in landing flap to maintain aileron control until stopped? In my ASH 26 I always left the flaps in L until stopped whereas in my Arcus I change to negative to maintain aileron control until stopped. The spoilers lower when I let go.

I've tried what you do, and don't like it as much as moving to flap 2. I want to
reduce of the wing lift (reduce gust sensitivity) and put weight on the tail
wheel (better steering in a cross wind). Aileron control is excellent in flap 2
(first negative flap setting), very good even in 3 (neutral).
