E-Flite 80mm F-16 Near disaster. 4th flt

There is so much time between flights on my new larger EDFs, that I often forget the details of the trimming I needed on my flights before.
I also have to much telemetry audibles being called out and it's very distracting. I only want time and voltage. the voltage is set for 30 call outs, but at times it just continuously gives it over and over. I'm using an NX10.

I again forgot to retract my takeoff flaps. so I did the whole flight with them extended. Didn't seem to affect it too much. it still flew well through all maneuvers that way.
But!!
when I went to full flaps (landing flaps) I lost all rolll control and could not turn it left. it would go right... on its own.
I know that Jon from Two brothers mentioned flaperon challenges. So did RC Geek. RC Geek mentioned that roll control was lost with flaps extended. He solved it the same way Dirk here did.... by adding elevon input to help roll control with flaperons down only.
well. I only learned that from them after I had this flight.

But. It's all good. An easy fix, I hope.

I hate flaperons. But the F16 uses them. Oh well.
