Default RE: Aileron Question


ORIGINAL: MetallicaJunkie

Which set up would make cause the nose to want to pitch up A or B?.... I am having a hard time setting the ailerons on a plane that has them running the whole length of the wing
Ailerons are not the surfaces to affect pitch. The elevator is the surface that is supposed to affect pitch.

Do you have a symmetrical airfoil on the wing? or a flatbottom? Trimming the ailerons together in the same direction gives either a flap effect or a spoiler effect and whether or not those cause a pitch and how much depends on a number of things. Flap deflection sometimes causes a nose up pitch and sometimes a nose down pitch.

What is the model? and what do you actually wish to accomplish?
