ANY tips / Insight would be greatly appreciated

Thanks[/QUOTE]


Hi CPT Great airplane and great fun with the four surface-four servo wing. OK since you are fairly new here is what I would do and what I would setup for anyone with these types of four surface wings on a good stick. To Start with set the airplane up with mild to medium throws on all axis and nothing wild. Then I would set up you flaps to use just as mild conventional dedicated flaps. And recommend no more than around 30 degrees down and no reflex at all (that's a flap the travel upward from the intrail position.

Practice with this mildly set up airplane until you think you are going to ware it out and are totally comfortable even with the flaps down.

Now I am not going to offer any radio programing that will have to come from elsewhere since I am strickly a Hitec user these days. But your next step you may want to experiment with is best described as Elevator To Flaps and what this does is simply apply down flap when up elevator is applied and conversely when down elevator is applied up flap (above the wing trailing edge).

This mix should only be used though a switch especially at first but you will likely find your self even leaving it on for whole flight simply because its a kick. This mix does exactly what the controlline folks have been doing for fifty years on flapped airplanes and indeed can and will tighten up both inside and outside looping maneuvers. Using this mix I recommend agine quite low at about no more than 25% flap to elevator both up and down.

Your Stick is a wonderful medium for this type of experimentation and I love both my Ultra Stick 120Lite with a 120 on it (heck imagine that) and a Goldberg Wildstick with a 180 Moki (whoops) oh, and a GP Big Stick 40 with an OS LA 46, Oh well its only got a two surface wing but still great fun in its own way.
