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.Originally posted by Okmedic View Post
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

Do you have enough channels for flapperons? They work goodOriginally posted by Ron1950 View PostComment

+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

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
