Prob building Phase 6 fuselarge.
Happy Days:
Well thanks for your advise Brian. :D
My problem is the risk of causing damage during landing. From what I understand, (Which aint a lot! :!: ) flaperons cause the wing to stall at a slower speed. My logic is that a slower speed at landing = less possible damage to model. Spoilerons will slow the model down but I still have to make the plane touch the ground at a faster speed than if I were using flaperons.
Please tell me if I'm wrong on this assumption.
As for using the throttle control for deploying the flaperons,.....can't do that with my Tx :!: The flaperons only deploy via the "Flaperon" switch. (Had I known when I bought the Tx what I know now, I might have got a different model. It's a wonderful thing,........Hindsight :oops:
Anyway, I won't be maidening her for a few days yet,.........fecking weather :x
Here is a couple of picies. (I couldn't bring myself to put bands on the wings, so for the sake of these photo's the wing is just lying on the fuse :P
Brian:
Hi Keith,
You flash git !! :P I need sun glasses to look at that :mrgreen:
Have you any mixers in that radio ?.
Spoilerons will slow it so that it is stopped if you use enough throw.
Happy Days:
Git!!! :shock: .....you call me a GIT :evil: What a flagrant insult. I demand satisfaction:.......Cheeseburgers at twenty paces! :lol:
As for the Tx, yes it has two mixer programmes.
Okay about spoilerons slowing the plane, but surely if it slows too much it will stall, and simply drop? (Or am I showing my ignorance?)

Brian:
Hi Keith,
The model looks really smart,your getting better with each one.
When you use spoileron you 'wash out 'the outer wing half, thus its less likely to tip stall Flaperon has the opposite effect.
As for slowing down too much its a question of flying conditions and degree of surface movement.Thus it's better to have proportional control.
So what mixes do you have ??.

Fred:
Hey Keith,
Sory, a bit late on this one ! :oops:
Really looking good :clap: :clap: I agree with Brian, you are getting better and better !
For the flap thing, what you can do after a little while, is to split your ailerons in half.. Add 2 mini servos, and you have a full house glider at really low cost ! :D
