Ok guys, let's remember what forum we are in here. This is the Beginner's forum, it's not the forum for the discussion of aerodynamic principles. I understand that many of us have lots of knowledge of how flaps, spoilers, flaperons, and spoilerons work on many different full scale planes, but this simply isn't the place to discuss them, or even worse get into an argument about them. When we do that it has the effect of disillusioning the new person in this hobby that came in asking for advice. Let's try to remember that we are here to help the new people in this hobby and not turn them off of it. I encourage and welcome all discussion that is on the topic of the thread (use of these on a model plane), but let's make sure we keep it there. We have other forums on RCU that are better suited for discussing the effects of these things on full scale aircraft.<div>
</div><div>Thanks understanding guys. This is one of the best forums here on RCU and it's the members that come in here to help that makes it so great. And it's all the members that come here to help that make it so great. But like most airplane guys it's really easy to get caught up in a discussion and get a bit carried away as we discuss (no no no, I've never done anything like that. no siree Bob. Not me!!!!
