Default RE: Fedx 3D FunFly (new design + many photos)

I put booster tabs on a 1/4 scale Corby Starlett. 10% of aileron area, as Ringwinger says. Didn't know how much throw to give them so I had a series of holes on the tab control horn. On test flights, moved in one hole at a time. When I hit the magic spot, roll rate went way up and response was instant. I think the Futaba 148s were overworked beforehand. Tabs ended up a little more than parallel with the airflow. Didn't go any further, as said above, they can be overdriven and cause oscilations.
