Default RE: Flaps setup

Be nice to that strega, they are ground looping sons of ......, blistering fast,easy to tip stall,and need to land HOT. To much throw makes them a beast to handle.

Setup correctly they are maybe one of the most fun to fly, very well built,and a good looking plane. I miss the hell out of mine.

I never tried flaperons. I would use just a slight amount of deflection at first,and adjust to what you need once used to it.

I had it for a year with an O.S. .65 on it. A man made me an offer for it I could not refuse. Later that day he took it up with his own rx,trimmed it out and started playing. He had gone to higher rates then suggested, and planted it at about 120mph into the concrete 4 minutes into it. Lots of pieces, lots and lots of tiny....tiny.... tiny.... pieces.
