Default RE: Setting up flaperons...


ORIGINAL: xray328

I'm trying to setup flaperons with a Futaba 6EXAP. But the flaperons move 45 degrees in both directions. Why would you want the "flaps" to point up and down? Don't I just want it neutral and down? What would you want the flaps in the up position? What am I doing wrong?
Flaps in the up position are spoilers. 45 degrees is way too much travel. Make sure using flaps does not bind the servo at full left/right aileron.

I use flaperons. They are ok but not tremendously effective. Flaperons are interesting to experiment with.
