Dude great tips saved a bunch of time only thing i would suggest is better lighting. But the screen shots of what to do helped thanks!

@lrivera311982 Thanks your your comment and input. I'll keep the lighting in mind in my new vids! :)

oh good. and how did you set up the flaperons in the dx5e?

[pizzadudemandude]

how do you do it with the dx5e? thanks

[rg26100]

@pizzadudemandude I am not sure. I don't know the dx5e very well. As long as you can turn flaperons on and you are able to reverse the flaps (if you need to) I think you should be fine.

cant wait to see the test flight and my god the radio manual is a novel lol lol !

Excellent video rg26100 . How does it fly ? That is the acid test in aviation. I can't think of any aircraft that use flap/ailerons and that is due to the difficult mixing job that has to be done. Flaps will change you're pitch angle and will open you up for wing tip stall at slow approach speeds. Flaps are put to the inboard part of the wing to cause drag and allow you to have a steeper approach. Hope you have a flight test video of your Flaperon mod. Good Luck rg.........007 Wingman.

I have not gotten it up yet, but maybe I will later. I have heard about the tip stalls and that is making me nervous about using the flaperons. Where you in the airforce?

as possible... replace the screw. If it is still not perfectly center depending on the tooth patter go into your radio and use subtrim to get it perfectly center. Then you will need to go re-adjust your pushrod end to get it level and even with the stabilizer. After that if your plane is balanced well it should only be one or two clicks of trim to get it flying perfectly level and you will have equal travel in both directions. I do this for all my servos even when the come from factory. Cheers!!

Thanks, I was wondering why it was like that. I was not getting much travel out of it and I was not sure if i should adjust it. I will try to do it tonight. Thanks a lot-Ryan

Also one more quick tip, I noticed your elevator servo is not center... perhaps you have it trimmed on your radio quite a bit but I can't see it being moved that much by trim or subtrim. I find you get the best travel in both directions if you center your servo and then adjust mechanically at the pushrod end. If you want to adjust it plug in your plane and set all your trims/subtrims to 0. Unscrew the servo arm and take it off, then replace it as close to 90 degrees in relation to the servo

Hey Ryan Great Work! I'm not saying Flaperons are a bad idea, I've never really tried them. I've read quite a bit they they may induce a tip stall so just wanted to caution you about that and the first time you try them do so at a high altitude just to get a feel for them at an altituded you can recover from a stall.

[rg26100]

Thanks for the comment! I have herd that also. I was thinking the same thing. I will put it up high and test it out. Thanks for the help-Ryan

[IEATSRT]

No problem.
