Default the end of my h9 edge

Rocketman...I think what Rreiss is saying is just to add 1/8" UP at the TE of both ailerons along their entire length, compared to the fixed portion of the trailing edge of the wing, during SETUP. Funny thing, I 'built' one of the new Lazy 51's from Thunder Tiger...nice little plane, fitted it with an OS 25FX. Anywho...I had the flaperons set up backwards...i.e., Flaps off was zero incidence, flaps on was about 15 degrees, UP! Interesting flight characteristics...I don't known if the wing had any more or less lift, but the illusion of more lift was there because the UP ailerons combined with the very short control coupling on this plane pushed the tail down and pitched the nose up. First time I came in for a landing, it looked like I was almost flying it in a harrier maneuver...nose high, very slow.
What a blast...I 'fixed' it, but I've been wondering about it ever since.
