Default RE: Spoilerons combined with elevator


ORIGINAL: stssa

Thanks for all the input. So its better for me to just go around couple of times if it doesnt feel right, instead of playing with the planes aerodynamics . So far I have landed to this spot 4 times safely and it was just hard , so thats why I keep coming up with ideas like this.

I will ask my wife to record one of my landings so you guys can see what kind of runway Im dealing with. I sweat like a pilot trying to land to Kai Tak.<br type=''_moz'' />
I have the spoilerons on my CG Extra set to a switch. I have used them way up high and the plane will drop in very fast but that plane wants to tip stall on the way down. I don't fool with them any longer. I have a HOTs with the flaperons slaved to my elevator on a switch too, that's fun to play with when the wind is blowing but on a calm day when landing it too wants to tip stall. If you need flaps you can split the ailerons and make real flaps inboard on the wing but I would try a three blade prop just for grins. It's like puting air breaks on a plane and will slow it down fast.
