Hello, I am pretty new to flying R/C planes just coming up on one year. I need to ask for some help on this topic but i really need the answer in the simplest of terms. Normally I would just go to the feild and ask one of the regular old school guys but I live in N.E PA. and so far this winter I have been the only one going to the feild. (Best thing i ever did was put snow skis on my u can do ) and Practice Practice practice... ( I have seven different planes in my hanger at this time and three more to build (Ryan STA, Christen Eagle, & A Cap)
Anyway here is my Question : I just finished building an (world models super chipmunk 90 s) it is my first plane to have retracts and flaps, it has a magnum 61 2 stroke on it. i am itching to take it out and try it. But I need Help with how to set up the flaps.
I tried to use my Futaba 6 exs radios mixing function but I am not sure if I got it right. What I am hoping to accomplish is to be able to slow the plane down a little for landings. The way it is set up right now if i turn on the airbrake function the flaps lower about a quater to a half inch and the elevator goes down about a sixteenth of an inch. is this the right direction for both the flaps and the elevator to travel? and are the distances that they travel about the right amount???????????
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot
Bob
