Bob,
I had another question concerning the ailerons. while testing my radio i found that when i make a right turn my right aileron goes down. Knowing a little about aerodynamics this would cause more lift on the right side making the plane turn left. Is this how you control a model airplane or do i have my ailerons installed incorrectly? i Also thought maybe since it is a model that this would be normal since a model does not fly at the same speed as a real aircraft and that the downgoing ailerons would cause more drag making the right side of the plane move slower causing the plane to turn right when the right ailerons goes down. Thanks.

Jeremiah
