Hey, I knew you would.

This deal of mine has been a real crusade. So many very experienced modelers have missed the subtle details and trashed me for BSing that I've spent half my life trying to explain.

In truth, the real problem selling the idea is that so many Skybolts and little Ultimates are flying with the OEM design, and the benefits of the changes aren't obvious to most flyers. Heck, most of them wouldn't know what to look for if they even understood what was happening with the surfaces. The fact that what happens doesn't have it's own symptoms hides the problem too. Lots of us fly really screwed up airplanes every day with perfect happiness.

But it's been humorously entertaining to me from day one. No bigger biplanes have been rigged with the screwy design. Servo power aside, I wonder why that would be? [sm=wink_smile.gif]

The OEM rigging actually is a case study in WHY. And the fact that it works differently going UP than going DOWN adds to the WHAT lesson. It's actually fun to put an accurate throw meter on the uppers and see them lose a bit going one way BUT gain a DIFFERENT amount going the other way.

This stuff really ain't sound byte simple.
