TT
Would you recommend flapirons or independent flaps?I would also say try the TT first, as it's the plane you have the most experience with.
As for the Storch and flaps, I think it depends on your installation. For flaperons on a 3 position switch, you'll want something like 0%, 20% and 35%. If you build the wing with independent flap servos, it will be something like -100%, 0%, 100%.
You'll have to play with it to see what looks right.

That is actually a fear I have that since I have gotten used to flying some models with no expos that it would feel rather unresponsive.@mayan, If you haven't decided yet then I say TT without a question. Rather than set standard duel rates, set the rates so you have expo in one switch position and none in the other. Launch and fly a circuit without the expo, then flip your switch and fly with it. That'll give you a real-time comparison to see what kind of difference it makes on the plane you are most familiar with.
Then you could just reprogram the trans in the field to have proper rates and expo. Also you needn't limit yourself to one plane. For quite a while I brought two or three planes out and just swapped the receiver between planes. You don't even need separate model set ups for basic flying. If you set up a three channel plane, the trans doesn't know if the receiver is in a DR1 or an SE5. The same with a basic 4ch setup.
If you've got a 3ch model and a 4ch model programmed in, you could just use those two and swap the receiver between planes and fly whichever you want.
I am so happy for you, my friend! I can't wait to hear how your flight(s) went!
It may be notable as well, that while the expo was a Godsend to me, my son doesn't usually fly with it. He still prefers 100% because that's how he learned to fly. He only flys expo if the wind is giving him a hard time. But then he DOES fly with the expo and he's able to fly in that wind. It really is a great thing to have available.
I rarely use expo anymore (except in extremely twitchy things like my ultra micro cruiser)That is actually a fear I have that since I have gotten used to flying some models with no expos that it would feel rather unresponse...
I doubt you'll need expo with the TT. That just seems the best way for you to feel what it does, rather than just reading about it. I suspect that for you the expo and dual rates will really come into play with other models.That is actually a fear I have that since I have gotten used to flying some models with no expos that it would feel rather unresponsive.
Any how I have started building a new TT for matter .
I have my second setting a bit agressive and I need to add power for that second notch of flaps or she'll literally stop in midair...The Storch is such a floaty plane, I figure it'll be awesome with flaps!
+10!How about you just toss that reciever in a any old plane so we can see you fly?!
