Hi all, new user here.

Here's a quick question about aileron flaps. My aircraft has nearly full length ailerons and I got to thinking, if you set those alierons to a slightly down position on each wing, would that give the aircaft more lift and better slow speed stability. They would act pretty much the same as the F16's flaperons. (which I'm reliabley told, work quite well!)

If indeed that would work, then in theory, it would be possible to fix your aileron servo into the wing in a way that enables it to move forward and backwards (say on some sort of plastic tracking) and use a 5th servo to adjust its position. If the servo is moved back, the ailerons will drop slightly giving added lift and forward would make the aircraft clean again.

Anyone else done something similar?

Or think it's a ludicrous idea.........
