Brain Lapse - Help with Ailerons needed
I just got my T-28 Trojan. I've had several parkzone planes, but this one is freakin' sweet, by far my favorite and I haven't even flown it yet.
I am, however, in brain block right now trying to set up the radio.
If I push the right stick to the left (initiate left turn/bank) the left side aileron should deflect upwards, and the right side aileron should deflect downwards, correct?
I simply cannot remember which is which, and it is driving me insane.
Also - the front gear, is it supposed to sit offset to counter the prop torque, or is it supposed to sit in line with the fuse?
Thanks guys,
Bryan

Brian,
You have the ailerons correct, the gear sit's in the center of the fuse, it's the engine alignment that has the right thrust in it.
Just remember when you raise the control surface that surface will be forced down and visa versa.

As for the ailerons, just remember "The aileron will rise up to meet the stick". In other words, when you move the stick to the right, the right aileron will rise up to meet it, when you move the stick to the left, the left aileron will rise up to meet it.
Simple.
Simple.
