RE: ENGINE CASE REPAIR
HI RDC767! The 2 flaps in the back do 2 things at the same time. The radio system has a feature called MIXING, which allows you to have 2 channels tell the same 2 servos what to do at the same time. So if I want to go up, both flaps simultaneously deflect up like a pair of elevators. If I want to roll , then the flaps act like ailerons.To make the plane turn, you bank it, then either pull or push on the stick to do either an inside or outside turn. The flaps when used this way are called ELEVONS. The wingtips help give the plane some kind of weather vane action so it doesn't fish tail around. It will fly without them, but not very smooth, and you lose speed if your plane is dancing around out there. I think the flying wing makes the best use of the mandatory weight that this class of combat makes you lug around, because it is invested in wing area.
