Great job getting everything programmed, I like the slats and flaps and didn't realize the wing spoiler acts like ailerons along with the elevators.
Very realistic, what size turbine/s are you using for her. Nice work

Twin Swiwin 190’s
CB 400 + Cortex Pro

Yes they’re roll spoilers and I’ve made a mix to simulate DLC (direct lift control)....so my slider to the midpoint detent will give me just speed brakes, and then a proportional mixing of both spoilers extending upwards as I move the slider towards full. Should make for some pretty cool approaches once I’ve got some flights under my belt 🙂

When I've watched TopGun I noticed this when they did the barrel-roll you can see the spoiler come up and the elevator also act like an aileron for turning.
Those 190 Swiwin's will have good power to weight ratio.
Never seen a 400 completely filled up , I'm using a 210 on my Viper and the socket outlets get eating up quickly!

Ya it’s insane how a jet like this can chew through the output slots. I bought a PB Royal and great piece of kit. But the UDI 16 protocol with Jeti limited us to 16 channels. It’s was a real pain trying to work around that. So I decided to just bite the bullet and get the CB 400. 24 channels and 24 slots. And can you believe we still needed an external sequencer to give even more slots.....lol 😂

I believe you could add receiver in Exbus for even more servo, I'm guessing if a guy uses air retracts then you would need a separate servo for each brake and on for steering.

I'm using a GS200 electron control so it does a lot of the extra works the transmitter plus ABS brake setup for keeping the plane straight and turning with the help of brake to pivot the plane.

Like the air brake between the verticals, it will help to stabilize and slow down the landing speed.

Some little added details that add to the jet: scale probes from the Little Jet Company in the UK (Alex)...
These are magnetic and can be removed for transport if required...

Approach speed won’t be affected by airbrake amigo, but the additional drag will require you to keep your throttle spooled up slightly. If you have to wave off the approach, the engine response time will be shortened. Think P70 versus literally any engine currently manufactured.

Keep plugging away it’s gonna look awesome zipping past.

Work continues... after lots of effort and i guess 12-15 hours of work, i nailed the rudders. I had to cut out the hinges and locate them in the right position to get the right movement.

This concludes the moving panels (wings, elevators, rudders are all working now.

Next - the cockpit. In order to place the powerbox, Receivers, UATs, etc. I need to see the clearance, therefore I want to complete the cockpit. As Fenderbin mentioned, it's a shame that a $300 cockpit has to be totally redone.
The Dremel became my best friend in the last few days :-(

Now tell me - how this rear cockpit should go in to this fuselage without butchering it?

Worst part of the build for me was the cockpit, I think i ended up with 8 separate pieces with various mounts to with screws. Was horrible and the cost of that cockpit for the quality you get is BS

You only need 2 tools to install a SM cockpit....a chainsaw and an axe. Im building a T33 and have spent hours on repairing ****ty engineering. Never again!

Here's a vid of mine and how the builder setup the cockpits for removal....
