Default RE: Can I Produce Washout with Ailerons


There are some great ideas coming through oh this thread. The wing slats idea would help alot I would imagine( butis way out of scale

Incidently, the wing loading on calculation with an 11lb. model is 32 not 35oz./sq.ft (. I've been taking the word of others without actually doind the maths myself.! )

I have flown quite a few models with this or higher loadings ( ESM Spitfire 72" 15lbs., Platt P51 82" span 23lbs are two of the "worst" ) .Both these models were quite manageable if deadsticked, though the Spitty more so than the P51. They both had flaps and generous washout.

So I am thinking that it is the lack of washout that is being the main problem here. . I have not finished the model yet but only a few more things to do before I readdress the wings again.

Lnewqban, I cannot seem to get your second link to work. I would like to see this as I may go onto the Flaps after the washout.

Cheers
