Hey guys, I kind of got bored with my wildhawk even with ailerons and i just got my new Futaba 7C so i decided to make the ailerons "flaperons!'

Idea of flaperons I found out from Dave Powers' saturday videos so credit goes to him. Thanks Dave!

Have not tested yet. I went to the field with my dad on sunday and the wind was so strong that one of the control horns ripped off of the ailerons! Pitty because I did not have any glue or tape. :{

Video of the new improved wildhawk will probably on next weekend!

Thanks for watching and please, comment and give me more ideas on this plane, I will soon get bored of this too! LOL

  • that will NOT fly

  • @mess1ahh I already flew it. Look at my video... :)

  • i just caught my original wildhawk radio glitching on an antenna down radio check , so i pulled the receiver and put in an old hitec 72mhz AM radio my dad gave me 20 years ago its never been used - motor control is much better the old radio was an on off switch - my hawk is wearing a 2600 kv 11.1 30c 2800ah lipo with a 30A esc - my servos are on the way for cutting ailerons in the wings

  • cool, they will be awesome trust me. Is your wildhawk really fast with that setup? I am thinking of getting a brushless setup, if yes, can you send me alink of where you got that setup?

    Thanks.

  • Hi there, the mod looks really good!

    I need your help please. I have a T28 Trojan (Parkzone) and I want to add flaps since there is a 5th channel on the transmitter that has never been used. Do you have any videos that show how I can do this? I have never made mods to any sort of plane so this is unfamiliar territory for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Sorry for the really lte response. I will try to post another video with the close up of how I set it up. Do you want to use the ailerons as flaps? I dont think it will be productive that way for the t-28. I will answer more questions in the video I guess. :D

see all

  • Clever idea hope it works

  • Hey, i have a 7C too.. but i only managed to get flaps on the 3 way switch in one position (using the airbrake), its possible to get another flap setting in the 3 way switch?

  • You might want to correct yourself. Those are indeed flaperons. Flaps go down and that is it.  Flaperons go down and still operate as ailerons in the down position. So you are the moron for not correctly identifying it.

  • actually they are flaporens.

  • why? It´s flaperons. I think.

  • hahah there not flaperons u moron its just flaps lol

  • ebay drive parts are hit and miss i got all mine on ebay from 3-4 different sellers
