Another twist question
 
1 Attachment(s)

Ok,
I have another stupid question...
What would the neutral position be for the twist ailerons ?
Do I want the aileron to be parallel to the fuse.. or should the aileron follow the wing contour
to be in neutral position ?

I dunno, but what part of AL are you from

Take a ruler or straight edge and go from the center of the leading edge to the middle of the trailing edge with the aileron parallel to that line.

delman hit it right on the head. This will show you exactly where the aileron should be located at in the center location. Take a look at this picture, hope it helps

Memory, we still need to fly sometime by intergraph. I will probably be out there this weekend, but am not completely sure. Shoot me a PM

I have several flights on the twist now. It flies great !
You were right, the offset problem with the uneven elevator didn't cause a problem.
I also took your advice and turned down the the low rate throws even lower than the manual suggests.
It has been windy here lately, so I have not done any flying with high rates... I think it will be a handful.
I am also using the Evo .46 NT engine, because I already had one lying around. I'm not yet sure how well it is going to
work out. I may end up getting an O.S. .46 AX for it.
Thanks again for the advice !

Chad,
I didn't fly at all this weekend, too cold and windy. I plan on coming by Intergraph soon on a Sunday evening when we get some
good weather. Shoot me a PM when you know in advance you are going to be flying.
