Default RE: F-18 flaps??

Hi

I setup the ailerons to droop when the flaps were lowered and to top it off I mixed the stablizers with the ailerons.

But I never flew the Yelllow F18 twin like this. I have used this exact same setup on several other models with sucess but is it really worth it?

I have to be honest it looks cool but fly's sluggish compared to convential controls.

Besides remember we are just guessing at the mixes since we don't have a flight control computer with AOA data.
