Default U can Do .46??

I madian my u can do the other day and it was very hard to control? I have the plane balanced at 5" Behind the LE, i Have a os 46fxi. The plane kept diving and tiping to the right. The thing that i would like to know is how the alerions are supposed to look since there is no refrence point on the wing. Thanks guys

In-line with the wing tip center strip. What prop are you running, and what throttle % was you flying at.

On the ailerons i taped a wire to the outside of the aileron and made sure it was flush with the middle of the wing. Im running a 10x6 and i was at max of 50% throttle untill i got it trimmed out. Now as i was looking at it today the right aileron isn't responding so i tested it and that channel is out do you think that could have caused it? There is no one at my field that i trust to do a flight for me. This is my 2nd plane. Thanks guys.

The servo could very well have been your problem if you laterally balance the plane so the wing doesnt drop. Also I would suggest trying a 12.25 x 3.75 or 12 x 4 apc prop for that plane/engine combination - more thrust and less speed.

this plane has a 2 servos elevetor set-up, double check if both servos are arrange to give you same throw, like position of the servo arm, amount of movement, horn position, etc..

Now regarding just one aileron working, yes a plane may behave that way; check both, ailerons and elevator servos working as a team, test flight it again and let us know your results.

The right prop for your plane/engine is an APC 12.25x3.75, a 10x6 is ok but will not get all the juice out of your combo.
