Status: offline 		Maybe. If you y-harness your ailerons together will that not leave 2 channels available for you to "marry" the flap servos with? You could still have a flaperon setting available to you if you wanted, or just a 1 or 2 position flap setting. Try the same mix you used on the ailerons but switch it to gear/flaps and see what happens.

Hope this helps.

My official 1st flight(s) report.

Raptor #1: Mine with the "WA" on the tail. Powered by an OS 55AX. I needed zero weight to balance it. I had an 12X7 prop and 15% Cool Power. All I can say is wow!!! She took off in about 12 feet and climbed for the stars. On max rate with -30 on the expo she flies like a dream. Stalls straight ahead and lands nice and slow (that is compared to my F-4). The plane will not knife edge but will do everything else that this type of airflame should. On a scale of 0-10 for funness, I would give it a 9.5. Very well built and fun to fly plane. Perfect for being a hot dog and fast if you want it to be (here comes the tuned pipe)!!!

Raptor #2. My buddies F-22 that I built for him (behind my Phantom). Powered by an Evolution .46, 15% Cool Power, and the 3 blade prop that came with it. This bird had the flaps down, anti-tip stall thingies and a touch of weight in the nose. I made the 1st flight as well, and as a 1st airplane I would be a little worried as it might be a little fast, that being said it does stall straight ahead as it should and lands very slow. Maybe I am used to fast, point and fly airplanes but with all the trainer stuff added the plane seemed mushy. On a 0-10 scale for learning I would give it a 6. My buddy decided to wait until there was zero wind to fly his as the Fairchild AFB cross wind was in full effect today.





you didn't think we would think your buddies plane would rate as high as yours did you ?


I knew it would not be as fast but being I put both of the together I did not expect there to be as much of a diffenence. On that note I took all of his training stuff off and noticed it flies "normal" now.

Status: offline 		Has anyone put an OS .55ax in their raptor. If so, can u tell me where u put the lead weights in order to balance it? Did you balance it with a full or empty tank of fuel? How much extra weight did u put on the nose or the tail?

thanks in advanced
