Default Spoilerons....How Much ??

I'm trying to get rid of or minimize the wing rock I'm having with my 28% Edge with harriers. I know adding spoilerons mixed with my elevator is the way to go, but I'm curious as to how much to add in degrees at max deflection. I tried a minimal amount today, but it was a bit too breezy for me to get the plane low enough to actually see what it was doing.

for me about 6 month flying my 28% edge and I kept practicing the harriers and it would wing rock like a MF.. even with spoiler-ons on!!! I got about 1'' up when I go to full elevator so I don't know what the %.

But last weekend I did 6 almost harrier landings perfect I din't want to land it because I was afraid it would break in half but now I'm confident that it can be done and it will be fine.

the key was to keep the nose really high up 45+ degrees!!! if you don't keep the nose up it will have a lot of wing rocking,, try entering on a stall with full up elevator in (high rate) and try to lock-in the harrier and the throttle you may not even have to touch it then you start playing with less elevator.

Keep trying that and I bet you will be able to do it in one day of flying!!!

Good luck!!!

I have a 3 position switch im using and I set one at 0 two at 10 degrees and three at 20 degrees and it worked better it 10 degrees than 20. Good luck

My Edge would wing rock quite a bit until I laterally balanced the plane. 1/4 ounce in the tip of the right wing panel and the plane is rock solid now doing a harrier.

Lower settings for spoilerons work better than higher. My experience is that any more than 15 to 20 degrees ends up too much.
