It's definitely doable. Will need each rudder on a separate channel though and do a bit of mixing in the transmitter. I did something similar with an older Super Hornet model where I wanted the ailerons to deflect with the flaps like the real one. With that gross split horizontal stab on this model, I'm hesitant to even get really scale on the rudder toe in though. Seems like a waste lol.

I guess that would be something best left to a bigger model? lol. Wouldn't that be a flaperon mix for what you mentioned? There are so many things i want to do, but so limited on such a small model lol. I dont think i'd dare to go bigger with the Jet as the Sheriff would probably murder me.
I may still do the toe-in depending on how the servos are wired. If it's easy enough to run them both to separate channels without tearing the jet apart, I'll do it. It could help with the negative incidence on take off if it's not corrected by FMS too.

I'd love to see an updated Freewing 90mm F-18 or maybe even a twin 80... Ditch the thrust vector, add rudder, horizontal stabs and sequencing gear doors, the option to add ALQ-218 wingtip pods and extra comm antennas to turn it into an EA-18G, drooool. Sorry got a little carried away.

Ha yea that's what I've been saying! I'm actually in the process of doing a EA18G mod to my exceed rc 90mm F18. I've ready made one 218 pod and also added a working tail hook. Oh and I put the rudders and ailerons on seperate channels to make them work with the flaps

I believe that's considered flaperons, yeah. I also set up a mix for tailerons on the 64mm Freewing F/A-18E, but that one actually has the full horizontal stabs, so it looks so much more scale.

So looking at the model and its stance, it seems like the mains sit a little high. On the Superhornets, when theres weight on wheels the aircraft sits a little bit lower. I might just stretch the spring or figure a way to get it to sit lower on the mains which should fix the negative incidence.
