Default RE: kadet senior ailerons

That plane is awesome John!

I built a new wing with ailerons for my Senior after about a year of flying. I reduced the dihedral to 1 & 1/2 inch total. Barn door style five bays wide and ~ 2 & 1/2 inch wide. Flew great that way.

I started moving the cg back just to see what that would do. That was the ticket, much more responsive and landings were a bit slower and easier. I balanced so inverted flight took light up elevator to fly level.

We had a fellow at our club with the arf version and his specialty was doing loww inverted flybys. It was awesome. Thanks Bill, RIP.

Have fun, MikeB
