What prop would be best for the taco Paul? I started with a 9-5 but it takes a while to lift off, would a 10-6 be better? Any suggestion?

I like both the 9 x 4 and 9 x 5 apc props on my Taco with the .25... For the .32 you might wanna try a 10 x 4.

If you really wanna take off with zero run way... try using flaperon's... Awesome take off.

OK, im confused with the flaperons. Describe what movement should take place with them on.???

What I have programmed now is if I turn the flap knob on my 6as the ails move together like flaps, is this what you mean? I tried using elevons as well today but was unsure as to whether the ails/elev should move in the same direction or opposite...

The knob is just for flap trim and full flap deployment... I'm talking about flaperons... or Elevator to Flap mixing... Just mix chan 2 and 6 at about 50% and assign it to one of the switches. What this does is give you down flaps with up elevator and visa versa... Mostly gives the elevator more authority.

I have limited production capabilities... It's only me..... And Harry when he has time.... I'm working on a new design that will be easier to assemble....

But to answer to your question... Yes.. Let me know if you want and arc by sending me a PM.

Did you mount your servos inside the wing? If so, how will you replace them if one goes bad?

Rookie,

Mine are inside the wing. I put hatches on the top for access as needed.
