Oooo YEAH! Great success with the 'snap spoilerons'. They sure did help alot. I also moved the CG back another 1/4 inch and am confident now that I can go another 1/4 which should put me at 6 1/2. The plane is now starting to look like it wants to flat spin and do the whole thing. Walls are much better as i can very nearly get the nose completely vertical. I'm happy with it as is. I did do a nice 6 point curve for the spoilerons so that there's less when pushing down. Worked out great. Only problem I had the weekend was the engine keeps overheating, I took the cowl off again last night to see if I can get some deflectors in it to get the head cool. Elevators are real easy now and I even manage to harrier it upright with only a little bit of wingrock. I still can't find a way to waterfall it though. It just rolls onto its side and I can't get it to stay level. THANKS inveme! Great advice on your side there!
I did try the flaperons out for a short while as well but they did not prove any better than the spoilerons. I am not a big fan of flicking switches the whole time anyways so I just fly it around on 3D rates with the spoileron mix on all the time.
For engine overheating, how about opening up the bottom of the cowling more?
BTW, I can't get mine to waterfall either. It just goes half way, gets inverted and won't come back upright. I tried using left rudder and it actually did a complete loop once. Not easy though.
