Bobmin,

Sorry I missed your post yesterday. I haven't had a chance to work on the plane last week and wouldn't have a chance next week due to travel. But to answer your question, not sure if anybody put ailerons on the plane. First you will need to lower the dihedral to make them effective. Another issues you will have to overcome is the flat bottom airfoil. I'm expecting this plane to fly slow and cub like. I'm expecting to have great fun just doing touch and gos all day long. Next, since this plane is supposed to be a throw back to the late 60's and early 70's they didn't fly a lot with ailerons. So, flying this way will give you a different perspective. For me, my first three planes were only 3 channels, so I'm looking forward to the change in pace. Anyway, I will post some new photos before I leave.
