Default RE: FLy Eagle Jet Models

Merry xmas to all, I have been reading the various comments on the FEJ 16 and the landing styles, but I would like to share mine first I have set the Cof G at 140 mils, ailerons I have set at 10 mil up and down with 25% expo, the elevators are at 45 mils up and down with 30% expo, no flaps, and it flys inverted hands off sticks the plane flys lovely and I have not had to change anything. also remember the weight difference for the advance and standard versions are different.
My personal view on using elevons on a 16 is crazy if you lose a control surface you have had it, no recovery at all. Ive flown in f-18s etc and to my best knowledge the aircraft does not rely on these two controls alone why do it to a model of scale proportions???
But as I said earlier everbody is different and the way I fly and my knowledge is partly due to my defence background.
I hope you get what you want from santa.

regards to all
Todd
