Default Pattern planes and full span ailerons.
Hi,

Can someone explain why pattern planes do not have full span ailerons? Most of the artistic models are full spanned in order to be 3D capable. Would this have any kind of "bad influence" during pattern maneuvers?

I'm asking because most of the top pattern designs have kind of semi span ailerons. Is that related to drag issues mostly?

Rgrds,

Nick
