I had a mishap with my front gear doors. Damaged one. Can I fly the plane without them until the replacements come in?

I Really don't know where else to post this but this seems like the right thread.
It started as an idea which led to a dare and then it was said it couldn't be done.
Well guess what!!!!
My idea and Avantis 1 Of which was salvaged from the trash and a flying buddy that accepted the challenge.
6 Gear 2 nose and 4 mains
4 flaps
2 80mm EDF's
49" long
74" span

That was maiden flight. Might try a roll tomorrow.

How did you bind 2 separate RX's to one transmitter? Didn't know that was even possible as every time I bind a Spektrum RX to my Spektrum TX, it "eliminates" any other RX that was bound to it before. I'm not the "sharpest tack" in the bunch, especially when it comes to TX/RX and other electronics but always willing to learn a new trick. Thanks.
I can take the center section out plug the wings into each separate fuselage and can fly either one as a single Avanti.
So basically each receiver is doing the exact same thing but its like the inboard aileron servos are not plugged in. absolutely no wires cross between the 2 planes and no y connectors tying in servos from one side to the other.
Ohhh also It does a good loop but I will not be doing anymore rolls LOL it didn't like it at all

Since the real aerodynamic center of the aircraft is between the two fuse -- what about having both ailerons on the right half move in tandem and both on the left move in tandem??

Otherwise presumably you will have to put ailerons on separate channels and then reverse one of them in each plane. and if you have a 6ch rx that aint going to happen!!!. If you do have 6 channel rx then taking Evan`s point a couple of pins in the inner ailerons wont go amiss as long as you remember to take em out after separating the 2 planes !!!

That would work but as the two inner ailerons are so close to the center of roll they act as air brakes as much as ailerons.

What exactly do you mean by "all the SAFE features"? If you have SAFE enabled 100% of the time you will not be flying the Avanti (or your Habu) to anything like its full potential.
