  • It can dance

  • Your elevator to flap mixing is reversed! Don't you want to have elevator down when flaps go down

  • @stikmunkey You would think so, BUT, if you watch the maiden video I posted of this plane with mixing as you describe, it crashes immediately! It turns out that with a swept wing like this, dropping the aileron-flaps acts as major DOWN elevator. The mixed up elevator compensation is needed to keep the plane flying level as the flaps are dropped. Trust me, this works as shown!

  • @RemE14MZ That's because those are not flaps but flaperons. Usually a flap is located on the inside of the wing. Using ailerons as flaps makes the plane behave a lot different.

  • @Juary70 Yes these are flaperons, but how they act when dropped regarding the required elevator trim change needed (needing up elevator vs down elevator) is a function of the center of pressure. Swept/delta wings mixed this way need up elevator. A more conventional wing like a Cessna type plane needs down elevator when flaperons are dropped. I've tested this in many planes now.

  • congrats - very good!

  • my 7c can do that
