It sounds like I need to buy anothe servo and do flaps. I would assume the flaps will make the plane land the same way it did with the air brakes that came with it, assuming I had the flaps down! So if I do the flap option, the ailerons are now shorter. Do I need to increase the aileron throw to compensate for having less surface area to work with?
I would say that if would be a good idea to give the aileron a bit more throw, but don't go nuts.
As far as the landing, I have yet to try mine so I cannot say anything about that.
