Default RE: Flaperons?

ORIGINAL: ICE_MAN

I know it only has one servo but if i peel of the covering and add to rectangles of balsa between two of the ribs to where the pushrods still line up the i can conect them through a y-harness
Iceman, you can definitely add the second servo to the ailerons like you are suggesting, but if you put a y-harness on them it will defeat the purpose. No matter what the argument here about the true definition of what a flaperon is, your manual clearly states that you have to have the ailerons on seperate servos and plugged into channels 1 and 6 to be able to activate flaperons. Otherwise you'll just be doing the same thing with the y-harnes as you would be with the torque rod in the standard setup.
