I'm almost finished building my Scout, though not sure when I'll get to fly it.
It's a 4ch, but I was wondering whether to add flaperons, or have a mix with the aileron/rudder to help in turns.
My Tx only has 3 mixes available. So flaperons would mean separate channels for the ailerons and mixing them, and that leaves 2 mixes for the flaperons.
Or I could use a Y cable and have the ailerons on one channel, and then add a mix for the aileron/rudder to help in turns.
I thought that as I'm using heavier FB, the plane will likely need to fly faster, and so flaps might be a good idea for landing? But would having some rudder mixed in help with smoother turns? I don't think I'm coordinated enough yet to be able to add rudder manually as I turn.
