Bo,

nice to hear from another Curare affecionado!

Maybe you should consider building another one? Radios are better these days and you should be able to avoid the trees!

My flaps will be coupled to elevator in one of my flight modes. I am programming 3 - one for take off where I will have gear down, flaps at 20%, rudder exponential (to avoid over-steering), one for normal flight - flaps up and coupled, gear up, rudder exponential reversed, a couple of mixes added and one for landing - flaps down, gear down, rudder like takeoff.

According to the article in the December 1977 Radio Control Models and Electronics that I have - Prettner used coupled flaps in some versions too.

BTW: I also have another Curare that I built in 1978 - Webra 61, Kraft SIgnature gear. I entered it in the British Nationals that year. It was not the Curare's fault that I was in the winnners circle!

I only have the canopy area to complete before adding the last of the radio. When I have done that I will upload some pictures of her - and maybe my "old girl" too!
