Default RE: Crow ??



Unless you are going to add flaps to the UCD, Crow isn't an option. Stear away from Flaperons also. I've seen to many crunched planes because of them. On the 9C, you can program in air brakes though. IT gives full up aileron on both wings, and then either full up elevator or a slow up elevator. It is mostly for braking after landing, The UCDdoesn't need that though. It is a floater and will stop within 30 or 40 ft of touch down on an asphalt runway. Take off roll is only about 30 to 40 ft also. You can land hot and still slow it down quickly without the air brake.

My recomendation woud be to set it up normally, 5 channels, 2 aileron, and one each for the other surfaces and just fly it until you are used to the plane. Then start playing with the computer to see what you can gain. The full up ailerons will tend to pitch the nose up in flight. Idiscovered this the first and only time I tried it . Mid flight, the plane went wacko. Ibarely got it down in one piece I then found that both ailerons were way up. Ihad left the slider on the right side active for flap trim and I kept bumping it during the flight and adding more and more up flaperons. Never again.
