ORIGINAL: Nnoodles
I plan on picking up the Hobbico NexSTAR 46 Select 4-Channel RTF 68.75" to use as a trainer, and i have been browsing through its manuals, ect. I came across this tidbit.
Aileron Control: Single standard size servo, wings are built with
dual aileron servo trays for future upgrades as skills increase,
can also be equipped with flaps
Now, correct me if im wrong, but i believe the ailerions are on the wings that control the banking of the plane though its center axis, (the axis from nose to tail) And i am just curious as to what exactly would be on this plane now, and also what difference a "dual aileron" servo setup would do.
Single standard size servo, Since "servo" is singular, it suggests that they expect you to install just one and provide that configuration. I've got a student whose NexStar has that installation.
wings are built with dual aileron servo trays for future upgrades as skills increase, This suggests the wing has a couple of servo trays hidden under the covering out on the wings. The idea is that in the future when your skills increase, you may wish to retrofit the wing. You may wish to pull the single servo and stick in a couple out in those hidden trays. My advice is that when you've worked up your skills, you'll want a more agile airplane. And you'd rather put two servos into your next airplane. Like in a Calmato Sport for example.
can also be equipped with flaps From flying the NexStar, I'd suggest you not worry about this. The airplane doesn't need 'em, and more experienced flyers wouldn't want them or need them for this airplane. Advertising noise, this.
You got the idea of ailerons spot of, but missed the spelling.
And you can call that axis the roll axis. Most do. Roll, pitch, yaw are the 3 axis, btw.
and also what difference a "dual aileron" servo setup would do On that airplane, nothing much different.
