Information 1:
I custom built a carbon fiber bodied, foamboard wing plane and it flys fast...because it is so heavy. Not a big deal except on landings. So I tried dialing in some flaperons and it gets really squirelly. I am using a Spektrum dx9 and setup flaperons. It is a pretty short plane. Here is a little video of my first flight / crash. I had other successful flights after I stopped using flaperons.
Question 1:
What is the starting settings you use to get a mix going. I started with 30% flaps with 8% elevator. Is this way out of line? Suggestions?
Information 2:
For another build, I am doing a carbon fiber stick with wings, single motor. I have a 2204 on there now and it flys, but that motor is too anemic for my taste. I have lots of 4s 1500mah batteries and that is what I am flying it with now. I am thinking about swapping out that motor for another I have sitting around(see link). The problem is it is only rated for 3s.
Question 2:
If I down propped it to say an 8 or 9" prop do you think it would take a 4s? If you think it would burn up what percentage of chance? If it is a 90% chance of burning it up, I will get another motor. 10% chance of burning it up? I'm probably going to run that chance.
