Default Eflite Timber ailerons

Do you Timber owners program aileron differential? I'm rebuilding one, late fall crash. Pilot error. The left flap hinges are totally damaged, I plan to disable the flaps anyway, I never used them. Going from a Tactic TTX 660 to Spektrum DX6e. I don't trust the Tactic Rx, bad crash, plane sat in the woods for 3 months. Someone found it, I got a call. It's almost ready to maiden! TIA Bill

I don't know about the DX6e but I think the DX6 will let you do through dual rates on a switch so that you can switch it on and off. You can also set it up mechanically by offsetting the servo arm. That said, depending on how you fly, you might not notice much difference. The ailerons on a Timber are pretty effective as is. If you are flying something with a big draggy wing like a Cub or a WWI biplane differential can make a big difference. You also see it on sailplanes with really long wings. With a Timber it might make a difference if you were doing a lot of flaps down, lower edge of the speed envelope kind of flying. But for just buzzing around as a sport plane, not so much. The nice thing about aileron differential is that you can add quite a bit and you wont hurt anything and depending on your flying style you may get an improvement by way of reduced adverse yaw.

Thanks for the advice! I won't be using flaps, they were damaged in a crash in September. I will lock them in the neutral position. When the weather improves I will experiment and take note visually what the results are and will start out with very little diff and work up as necessary. The DX6e does everything I would ever need.
