Crow in a 35% 3D ship?
I’m building a 35% Extra and though about splitting the ailerons such that I can mix in crow, etc. Has anyone done this? Was it useful? Thanks.

I have not done it on anything that big, but have on a small profile (50") its great fun to just stop the plane in horizontal and vertical down flight, but other than slowing down the landings which where slow anyway its just a gimic that is fun to play with, I have been playing with de-coupling them to allow flaps only and reflex up ailerons only and find the reflex ailerons on harriers are of benifit to stop wing rock, but the flaps just make it float more than usual, on a 35% it may be of benifit just so that the combined four servo aileron movement does not bind or stall the servo's so may be a good idea just for that and then you have the option to play with different mixes.
Please post if you do this, it would be of interest to many of us on something that size.
