The newer short coupled designs have become a lot more dependent on aileron reflex to really get a combat ship dialed in. Initially, folks had problems that looking back I believe could be attributed to improper aileron reflex.

I've come up with a very simple method to determine if your aileron reflex is set at the correct amount. Here are the steps and a simple illustration:

1) Get your bird trimmed to fly straight and level.

2) Fly into the wing at full power and quickly pull the power off.

3) If the nose dips quickly when the power is removed you need to reflex your ailerons. Two turns is usually enough and a good place to start.

4) Continue these adjustments until is just coasts with the power off. Now you'll have plenty of elevator authority to grease it in on landing and won't need dual rates.
