CafeenMan,

Thanks, I was going to setup my first dual aileron this weekend, for flaps.

How about Air Brake, can it be done with two aileron setup with adequte radio and will it be usefull?

Is it something like the Video 3 while both ailerons are up?

Thanks again,
Yes. Flaps up = airbrake. I'm not the guy to ask about why or when to use it. I've only used it on a plane that thermalled too well to help bring it down. I'm not sure what other purpose it would have.

Actually, I take that back. I think Airbrake is flaps up and ailerons down. Flaps up is simply reflex I think. Honestly I'm not sure. Somebody else knows.
