Just wondering is everyone setting up flaperons or does it land good enough with out them. Maidan flight coming up soon just wondering what to expect!

Welcome! I personally have setup for flaperons, and bypassed the blue box with a dedicated Y-harness for the elevators.
If you are landing on tarmac, the plane doesn't bleed speed very well and can run off the runway so land in with a decent flare to bleed speed. My Pitot tube didn't last long :)
Suko on RCGroups shared his flaperon settings and these work well for me. Here is the picture for reference for the flap settings.
I have 11 flights on this bird so far and all have been with stock 90mm CG. It required a good amount of elevator trim but is very stable. I am slowly shifting the CG back as I notice the plane had trouble with loops and split-s maneuvers.Comment

+1 on the flaperons. Makes a big difference for grass ops. They shortened my take-off roll by about 1/3. Grass does need to be pretty short though.Comment

Have the 2210kv installed with low timing. RTF. Have flapperons progrogrammed and even added a spoiler setting. . On a three-way switch I have flaps up, take-off flaps and then spoilers.. Once it's down on the ground I can switch to spoilers with a down elevator mix. We'll see. Like experimenting. Hope to fly this weekendCurrently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

Is there any vid posted, how is the wing loading, does the gear handle grass well ? Thanks !rc flyin addictComment

Sorry no video just yet...Will post in this thread when I get it in my hands and publish. Wing loading is on par with the original...Struts can handle (manicured) grass just fine...My YouTube RC videos:

sweet, love inrunners for edf, thanks Arosrc flyin addictComment

with the 2210 and a vid from my phone it sounds a lot like a turban but when I repost it the turban sound seems to get a little swishy but still it has a ton of power
my question is how much deflection does every one use on take off for flaperons? I have suko's settings but not sure which setting to use off crappy grassComment
