I have been flying a Tower high wing trainer for 6 months and was given a second trainer as a gift.
I would like to know the possibilities of setting up this one with 5 servos, to be used with flapperons.
Will it make more or less difficult to fly. Or would I be doing this just because I can or a learning experience. Would it float more and land slower or what. What else could I do to make this one different from my first.
Also with 4 channel, If I mix rudder with ailerons with rudder will this help adverse yaw. If yes, how much do you mix and will it affect takeoffs. I using JR XP6102 with Thunder tiger 46.

You CAN add a servo. It can be installed right next to the original one or you can install both in wing bays.
It shouldn't make it harder to fly as long as you don't add too much flaps and remember to fly first and worry about the flaps as a secondary thing.
It will probably float more unless you add too much flaps at which point you will be adding more drag than lift. This point is hard to reach in many trainers.
It should also land slower but how much is an unknown.
Changes? Less dihedral, tail dragger conversion, separate flaps (can't do this with 4 channels but you can't do flapperons with 4 channels either).
You can mix out some of the adverse yaw but you would be better off learning to use the rudder stick. IMO
