Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Adam, I never cared for the idea of using that little dial for moving the flaps (ailerons, flaperons) up and down. Even if you put a mark on the dial, it's just to iffy. You might set it up so that all the way on the dial is normal, and going the other way will make them droop a bit for landings. Actually your Twist will land so slow it is laughable anyway.

A better way (just me) of doing it with my Futaba tx, is to set the flaperons up using the airbrake function. That way with the flip of a switch (very positive, just on or off) the ailerons can both droop a bit for landings AND the elevator will move to correct the trim at the same time. Even with this method, it is another annoying switch that you have to be careful of being in the right position before you make a WOT inverted pass right on the deck, lol.

Jack, I love your stories. You are very in touch with nature and the finer things in life.
