Though to be fair, the winter camo should have camo on top and bottom and it doesn't so... there's that too. I still prefer it aesthetically speaking :)

I ended up keeping TV but ditching the wing servos and rudder servos and flying tailerons. Very light, very simple, very acrobatic.
I am debating adding a gyro. If using the gyro to do the taileron mixing I assume that I would need to Y the TV servos to the taileron servos. Not sure that this would let me have separate trims for the tailerons and TV nozzles. I know Kallend said he has flown his plane for years with the servos Y'd and I guess likes it that way.
The other choice is to do all the mixing in the Tx. But then I don't know if the gyro will work with that configuration. Plane probably doesn't need a gyro anyway....but they always help, right?

I think I like this idea. My much smaller F-8 Crusader is set up with only tailerons and throttle and it flys great. With TV added the Flanker should be just as good. As Alpha said, one of the lightest and simplest ways to configure the plane. My goal is not to fly like Airguardian, but rather to have a light, agile, fun flying plane with decent flight times. Basically, the opposite of my Su-30.

If you use a gyro and mix the VT to the taileron, the gyro will control whichever one you hook up to it and have no effect on the other. The answer would to be use 2 gyros.

Originally posted by Airguardian View PostYep, if you want to control all the surfaces, either 2 gyros or an advanced gyro with separate outputs would be ideal.
Or just a single gyro on nozzles should do most of the work for post-stall anyway.
Two A3L's with the right mixing might do the trick.

I haven't found this to be a problem in 4+ years of flying it. I don't think I've touched the trims in over 4 years. My gyro works on the tailerons and the TV.
