Default H9 Funtana. PICTURES OF ARF IN BOX, COMPLETED, INFLIGHT, IN THIS THREAD!

That has been bothering me too recently. I think that flaperons (aileron down with elevator up) will increase lift while inducing up pitch. This causes the plane to pitch up and rise quickly. Makking for fast climbs.

In spoilerons, (up ailerons and up elevator) causes the plane to pitch up but loose lift so the plane does not climb. This is a "Wall" maneuver where the plane points up but does not increase altitude (until you apply power).

So you need to choose one or the other based on the maneuver. I think all the neat 3D stuff uses spoilerons.

Am I close or way off here?
