Default US 40 -- Aileron only or with flaps ?
I'm not sure whether to build it with flaps or not.

I have a Hitec Flash 5 computer radio. With only 5 channels, flaps are either on or off. My latest idea is to make it aileron only and then convert it to flaps later if I ever get another radio. This would make it lighter (two fewer servos) and give it a better roll response. It will be powered by a 46SX.

But if it's easier to land with flaps, then maybe I should go with flaps from the start. This is my second plane and it will be my first tail dragger.

Any suggestions?
