Yes Keith. Flaps and ailerons are the way to go. For my flapped machines I just have a switch to mix flaps and ailerons together. Quadra flap some people call it. Then for landing I switch back to normal mode and use crow.

BTW what radio are you going for?? Futaba...??

See if it has flight modes? Very handy for changing camber. Just flick a switch and your ailerons and flaps droop a few mm. Good for light conditions or gaining altitude fast. Lots of 3D gliders recommend chamber changing. Brian you use this a bit?? Works well on the Voltij?

Don't have a wife  :wink:

And you still get no nookie?? (Oh well, at least you've got a right hand, :lol: :oops:  )........but this is way off topic. Let's return to servility

The type of Tx I'm getting is the Futaba, (has to be that brand because all my rx's are 2.4 Ghz FASST) model 10CG. It's got 12 programes dedicated for gliding, so I think it'll have what I need.

When are we gonna get this CNC machine up and running Joe? I want to get some of these ideas converted into actual planes :D

Nookie or not, let's go flying :P  !

.Joe Keith,
Yes 4 axis = camber changing.
You set it up in a flight mode so that the throttle stick is the camber adjust.
Mid throtle = no camber
Low throttle = +ve camber 3 to 5 mm, proportional from mid to low stick.
High throtlte = -ve camber 3 - 5 mm.
This gives a symmetrical wing a big advantage over a semi when inverted and just about as good upright.
In another mode the throttle opperates the crow.
In another flaps and ailerons are all set as ailerons with the wing section restored.

Happy Days:
Yes Brian, I have a pretty good idea of what you mean. :)

Question: When using the throttle stick in the way you describe, would I have to remove the ratchet and arrange the throttle stick to have springs to center it when there is no fingure pressure on it. ie so both sticks are self centering?
I'm wondering if the throttle stick isn't self centering how would I know when there is zero camber on the wing? :?:
