Hi all, this may sound like a dumb question so bear with me. I just finished putting together a Dazzler ARF and am not sure where the aileron "neutral" position is. I have it set up so the tips of the ailerons are flush with the bottom of the wing. (I laid a straight-edge across the bottom of the wing and set the aileron so the angle was zero degrees with respect to the bottom of the wing.) From the top of the wing it looks kind of funny though because it looks like the ailerons are raised. Hopefully my description was adequate. Is this the correct neutral position for the ailerons?
Thanks,
Chris

1wingman, I would adjust them so they are even with the center section of the wing. Draw an imaginary line thru the end of the wing front to back, centered top to bottom. Line the aileron up with this line. After you fly it for a while and get use to it you might want to try going in a couple of turns on the clevis on both sides, fly it, then back out 4 turns and fly it. Judge for yourself where you like it best after you play with it for awhile.

Lining them up with the center line of the cross section makes sense. As it turns out, it looks like they line up with the elevator also that way.
Thanks guys. If I'm lucky I'll be able to fly it before Sunday. I've got an OS 46Fx on the front of it and I'm looking forward to the first flight.

I have seen them do a lot of things, but having the wing rip off in the air has not been one of them. Epoxy always works well for me.
