Hi,

could someone post the spoilerons settings? I came across 17-20mm up ailerons but no mention of the down elevator required.

Thanks!

Bullet... flown with your new wing yet?

mind sharing your flap setting and the elevator compensation for landing?

Thanks

Dudes, am still in LA and most of the planes I wanted are out of stock. Well, looks like back to the Tiger again. When is yours going up Sam? We missed you last week...I will be back in Malaysia next weekend...can't wait to fly. I wish I brought my e-hawk...would've loved to fly at the beach as I am staying just smack in front of the pier down in Santa Monica..called Esprit Model and all the planes I wanted they no longer carry...same at Nesail....just wasted my money calling them...i hate it when websites are not updated...and the fact that it takes too long for delivery...

Sad to see that many shops do not carry hotliners here...most shops carry the given nitro warbirds and the parkzone stuffs...Soaring USA too did not have a shop...most are only on-line orders...hmmmmm.....

Wow, I thought SoaringUSA has a big retail outlet down south.

Baba ...

I'd maiden my lanyu yesterday.... super hot plane .... and a super hot landing also ... that's why I need to figure out the flap and the elevator compensation configuration....

Sam....

I must confess, I have done nothing with it so far. Unfortunately the mounting hole pattern is different to the original wing.

But with the aileron only wing, I use spoilerons... setup as butterfly in my 9X, with opening distance controlled by the throttle stick (only activated in HOLD). Goes to about 35 degrees up at max. Very small amount of up elevator mixed in (proportional to stick position).

I lent my radio to a mate, so don't actually have values for you at the moment.
