Default RE: KAOS 60 Elevator Question

ORIGINAL: MMcConville

Typically if any differential is needed, slightly more down than up is desirable for aerobatics.
Odd thing about the Kaos is the forward slanted horn on the bottom side of the elevator gives more up than down. A bit counter intuitive but still, its a proven formula on that model so I wouldnt change it.

Again, with computer radios its a bit of a moot point anyway, you can dial whatever differential you want in about 2 seconds. Gotta love technology!
Mike,

This is an interesting post.
(A little bit off topic but maybe interesting to read.)


I do use always one servo for the both ailerons, so this will never be my problem but;

Read.

When using two servo's for the ailerons and program the differential in the radio and not in the linking.
When making a fast ailerons input, faster as the speed of the servo's

Than the downgoing aileron servo does reach the endposition earlier (less throw to do) than the upgoing aileron servo.

So as long as the up going aileron is moving after that you do not have the right differential. (little bit flapperon for a while!)

Some points to think about,
Make the differential for the ailerons in the linking and fine adjustment in the computer radio.
Use one servo with the differential in the linking when you do use less fast servo's, they need much less torque and power because of the aerodynamical balance of the ailerons. Your both ailerons always have the right speed!!
