Excellent Charles, those twin batteries are definitely the way to go. Mines on the bench waiting for the same. I know you mentioned it before, but did you go with tailerons? I know you're using full span flaps, but do you also have flaperons, which is all I've been using. With the extra channel now available from removing the speed brake, thinking about tailerons, but would it make any sense to have both, with flaperons?
Hugh, this plane does not have flaperons. The surfaces on the wing are used as flaps only. As I recall, I had to change the rotation of one of the wing servos so that both servos could be connected to one channel and move the flaps correctly. The tail surfaces are used as tailerons and provide more than enough control. I used a Hobby Eagle A3-L gyro to handle the tail surface mixing. When I first flew the jet I had the wings surfaces as ailerons and the tail surfaces as tailerons....the roll rate was way too fast. I converted the ailerons to flaps and that gives me better takeoffs and landings.
@@charlesradford3811 thanks for the info Charles. I may just follow your lead. I'm using the 8 channel Spektrum AS3X and may be able to program it through its wing/tail type options without changing the wing servo and at least I now know to un y the elevators and put each of them on their own channel as long as I'm taking it apart. Hope to start surgery soon and may need to PM you for more of my stupid questions. Thanks so much.
