Default RE: Flaperons?

ORIGINAL: combatpigg

Can giant scale 3D ships perform climbing flat spins with out flaps coupled?I play with 3D planes that range in size between .15 and .50 and have found that no single control sceme produces the same results BUT running flaperons with the elevator coupled will produce climbing flat spins. When I'm performing stunts where having flaperons/elevators active is a nuisance, I switch it off, of course. At least 80% of the modeling community flies in a size and performance range where running flaperons coupled to the elevator is beneficial, and for those who learned about this wonderful FLAPERON MODE and are practitioners of the art of small scale 3D, Flaperons means elevators coupled out of phase with the flaps.
So even though 90% of the people who have responded to this thread do not agree with you and even though there has been plenty of evidence presented that does not agree with you and even though you have not produced one shred of evidence to back up your claims - not even the "top 3d fliers in the country" lol... you still cling to this belieft? absolutely incredible. *shakes head in disbelief*
