Waterfall--flaps up or down??
 
When doing the Waterfall, do you put the flaps up or down with the down elevator? Thanks

I dont use either one, but some people use flaperons (ailerons down as flaps) In a completely stalled attitude I think they just deflect the air away from the elevator but you should just try them and see what you think

depends on the model,

with my hype 3D, both ailerons go up when elevator goes down to give a really tight waterfall, on my capiche50 I just use elevator.

experiment and try with and without.

Also a rearward c of g helps.

I'll second the rearward CG. My Funtana would not waterfall without spoilerons(flaps up). Then I moved the CG back and it dosn't need them.
