Default F16 Help

I'm planing fly a F16 1/6 but I do not like to use flaperons and elevons, I prefer simply set it up with conventional elevator and aileron. What do you think? everything will be fine?

regards

It will be fine. They actually fly better this way. Tailerons are good for high alpha but not precision maneuvers at speed. Conventional set up is perfect.

Vespin,

I totally agree with Gunradd and that's how the FS works

I set my Skymaster 1/6 F-16 up with Ailerons and elevators, no flaps...over 250 flights, flawless! Flies great that way!

Do it! You will be fine.

All flaps are good for in the F-16 is to allow you to have a pretty steep descent. Most of the folks I've seen using flaps use them wrong anyway. The wing on the F-16 is a giant flap, just learn it and use it well. It will slow you down very nicely.
