RE: Aileron differential
Interesting opinions
a really lightly loaded model needs none and for really complex aerobatics - differential can get in your way
It is easy for one's own flying techniques and basic cg setups to mask roll errors
for example :
some guys hold in a smidgen of up or down elevator all the time in upright flight
seen it over -n over etc.. when doing a roll - the elevator trim causes the roll to look goofy .
they fiddle with differential trying to get the wallow out of the roll.
The ATV setup on some radios will affect the throw (up vs down )and cause aileron response which again appears to need differential.
The reason for differential in the first place - was to compensate for the yaw -which occurred on just about any full size sport plane and the rudder /aileron blending was used to fix this skidding
Now here is a neat trick if you have not tried it
On a design with as much fuselage side area (effective side area) as wing area - you don't use ailerons to bank n turn - only to roll . so NO differential wanted or needed
to turn these you just add rudder - that's it
the fuselage provides the lift normally lost in a turn
I know this will cause some to faint dead away in disbelief but -it does work.
