Good afternoon , I was putting my electronics in my plane and needed to know with my alerons when I move my control to the right does the aleron on the right wing move up or down? If anyone could help before I crash another 3 week project please let me know soon thank you .

Move the stick to the right and the right aileron should go up.

Get an experienced r/c pilot to pre-flight you and trim the model; maybe give you a few lessons. It will save you a lot of money.

definitely great advice!
one minor thing... stand BEHIND the airplane when checking! move the aileron stick (right hand stick) to the right, and the right aileron should go UP.

Imagine... air is rushing over the top wing surface, suddenly aileron comes up, what happens? answer your question?

Please don't tell me the airflow pushes the wing down

Charlie P.

Nope. Airflow has to be faster on the upper surface of the wing with the flap down and it rises because of Mr. Bernouli's theorums (faster air over the surface = lower pressure). However, the flap also creates drag and there is adverse yaw as the wing with the up aileron continues on at a faster rate; twisting the aircraft towards the lower aileron side. In short, heavier than air flight is impossible. ;-)

Thanx Charlie my faith has been restored
