Default RE: Is there a rule of thumb for spoileron setup?


ORIGINAL: RC MANIAC119

OK.......First thing.......with that bird, spoilerons are not needed, so I can't imagine what would get you started in that direction! The only possible reason would be for slower, more stable landing......but with a little throttle management, that bird will already land at a crawl!!
You may be thinking that adding this feature will make your bird more maneuverable....NOT SO....it will only get you in trouble, and probably be the end of your bird!


But if you insist on trying this,(and I know you will) you setup the ailerons coupled to elevator. and both surfaces should be dialed UP about 10degrees to start with when you use elevator. You will have to adjust the amount of travel to suit your needs.......BUT I know you will see that this setup is not necessary!!!

Good luck........you're gonna need it[]!!

This guy has no idea what he is talkin about.
