I have somewhere between 1/4" and 1/8" spoilerons, more is not needed. Each aileron is on a seperate channel on my JR.

I also have the front gear mixed to the rudder and on a switch. When I drop the landing gear for landing, the nose servo becomes active.

That way, I can use the rudders in flight w/o using current on the nose servo.

I also toyed with the idea of putting each rudder on a seperate channel so I could program in an air brake.

When I modeled this in G3, the plane became unstable, as the angle of the rudder pushes down HARD on the tail when the rudders are engaged as brakes.



We have a paved runway length of 500ft and we are at 240ft above sea level.

My Bobcat uses the WHOLE length of the runway to slow down w/o spoilerons, after landing just after the threashold.

With the spoilerons it uses slightly more than half of this...

You want about 2 degrees postitive ( nose up ) angle of attack on the wings as the plane sits on the ground. Yes it should be noticiable.
