RE: Yet another Sig Something Extra Build
While I was cutting out shear webs last night I was thinking about the overall performance of the plane and what the modifications would have. Overall thus far it should perform about as it would for normal flight, even with the reduced area for the ailerons that would be used for flaps, because of the mass of the servos being moved inboard. But as I thought about the slow speed flight and 3/D type of flight the airplane was designed for. In hover aileron effectiveness would be severely reduced as most of the inboard portion of the aileron that would be in the prop wash, would now be used for flaps. Now the flaps are not needed for the operation of this plane so I will have to give it some serious thought.
