ailerons

I wanted a set of aileron corner boxes and controls that would allow me to use one servo for the ailerons, reduce weight, reduce roll inertia, eliminate needing servo extensions and not have big servos sticking out of the wings. The plastic pieces for one "set" totals 3.1 grams and is only 5 mm...

So I am putting together the eclipson model C and am really excited to get the electronics working. I haven't found any good guides that show how to set up independent ailerons (rather than using a Y splitter that gives one channel for the two ailerons to share). Can anyone explain how to set it...

Age old question.. but after searching many forums and vids... I want to take a census on what others think that are familiar with the STOL planes. I want to get the most out of the STOL function for my FT Bushwacker plane. Currently I run Full (ailerons / flapperons ) for my plane. I'm...

Hi, I recently started working on making an RC Star Wars T-65 X-Wing Starfighter. I don't have room for normal elevators, so I wanted to try to make my ailerons on each wing work together as elevators. The two top adjacent wings work as normal ailerons, going different directions, and same goes...

Hi all, I created a new thread to ask these questions because I didn't find anything applicable through searching the forum so please share links to the appropriate threads if anybody knows of one. My first question is does anybody think I could modify the trainer wing (with up turned winglets)...

Hi guys - I asked this once and I am thankful for the answers but I still need more help. I built an FT Storch, I have installed the servos and have everything ready. The rudder and rear ailerons (I hope I use the correct terms) are working but I have no idea what to do with the wings. I cut...

This thread is for sharing progress, comments and suggestions on building Stout Trainer. I posted an article on the design on 11-08-15. This design is a 60" span high wing medium to advanced aerobatic trainer. It looks like this: I have received comments from a couple of members who are...

I was given this amazing 4 channel glider. It resembles the style of an E-flite Ascent, but it is smaller. I am hoping that one of you are able to tell me what type of plane it is. Let me know. Also if any of you have a manual or anything that would be great.

Hey everyone, I am picking my components for the FT 3Don hobbyking, and I have everything except something to connect the two different servo's in the wings together. I mean, there is only 1 port for ailerons on the receiver. How am I supposed to do this? You use a Y-harness for this right? I am...

Let me share with you my first rc plane scratch build. I wanted something small to be able to fly over the garden, easy to fly as a trainer, slow flyer, but also a little bit aerobatic to have some fun later. When I saw FT Old Speedster in the air it was love at first sight, but it needed a few...

Hello Flite Test friends, I´am great fan yours. I already did the fantastic old fogey project and I really enjoy it !. Now my next one will be the mini series "Old Speedster" . But When I built the old fogey I had a doubt, : What would happen if I place ailerons in planes that has dihedral...

Hey everyone, I have been wondering about this for a few days now: What do planes use their rudder for when they have ailerons? I understand that 3D planes need rudder for their awesome crazyness, but what do 'normal' planes use it for? A plane can turn using it's ailerons right? Or can only...

Hey all, I've got a super cub and I love it. A buddy bought a Flyzone Beaver, and it has scared the hell out of me to fly... just too powerful. I landed it successfully on the lake, but it's just too much plane for me. Instead, I opted to upgrade my Super Cub to learn 4 and 5 channel flight...

i bought a parkzone archer hoping to learn to fly with ailerons. i crashed it twice and fixed it. i flew it a again and manged to get it into the air higher than 10 ft and fly longer than 5 seconds. 10% expo on the ailerons helped. i had trouble keeping it level it would bank left and was very...

Hi All, I have one problem and one query I hope someone can help me with to finally get this bird into the skies. Problem: When giving right Aileron input my motor starts spinning, not fast, I'd say about 5% power. Is this a TX issue? I'm using the Turnigy 9x with the 8 channel rx, a...

Does anybody have a cheap RC glider for sale and is able to ship to Somerset, UK? Thanks

hey, i just bought a turnigy 9x and a tech one angel. i have hextronic 9g servos the problem is that the ailerons dont work, the servos dont move at all, when i first pluged them in only one moved, then we swapped the y cable (home made) around and that didnt work so we swapped them back and...

The HK T6a is a fantastic radio at an unbeatable price. I highly recommend it for beginners to the hobby. It served me well for 2 years and I still have it and use it to fly with my friends. Here's the way I programmed flaperons on a HobbyZone Super Cub using my T6a: Read the instructions...
