Default RE: Check out this link about Flapperons

Not saying you guys are wrong about the spelling but Im not the only cat on the block who doesnt spell it right.



"Set the elevator channel at the master, and the flap as the slave (you're already using flapperon mix for the two aileron servos, right)."
- Mike McConville

"hey...I can tell you what I use flapperon and Spoileron mixes for...:

Flapperon: I use flapperon for very tight loops and of course I use the flaps along with a mix of down elevator as the nose tends to pitch up as the ailerons are dropped. To perform tigth inside loops, when the elevator goes up, the ailerons go down and you get a tight loops and vise versa for a outside loop.

Spoileron: Spoileron is used in my case with smaller planes and I have seen Mike McConville use it on his 46%TOC Ultimate. This helps the wings from rocking.

Inverted Harrier uses down elevator and the ailerons pitch downward also.
Right side up Harrier uses up elevator along with up ailerons. This is to prevent from more wing rocking I believe and to keep the plane more stable.

I don't know if you already know this, but I sure hope it helps.

see ya later
