RE: Three Channel or Four?
Rog, how perseptive of you. The plane is going to ultimately get floats on it, hense the flat wing. A while back, I was chatting with a moderator on another forum that designs planes and asked a few questions about how to improve the Kadet I was starting. He suggested the ailerons(including the dimensions) and 1/4 to 1/2 inch dihedral. When I mentioned floats, he told me to eliminate the dihedral all together as the weight slung under the plane would replace the stability the dihedral would give, so that's how the wing was designed. Rog, in your opinion, would it be better if I built a second wing with the 1/2' dihedral and left the rest the same as the flat wing?
I should probably let you all know about radios. I have a Futaba 9C that is going into it to learn with, then a four channel Futaba Conquest later since the Conquest isn't buddy box compatable. I've seen some posts refering to mode 1 and 2. both systems are set up in mode 2
