Adding ailerons to the Tipsy
I am new to rc planes and will be purchasing my first plane in a couple of weeks. I am considering the Tipsy if there are no objections or better considerations. While investigating these choices for planes I started thinking about eventual mods to the Tipsy. Seems to me that adding Ailerons would be a simple task....
Any thoughts? Dorian LaChance dlachance@pkfamily.com Anyone from the Jackson, MS area? |

The wing of the Tipsy in my opinion is too thin and flexible for an aileron mod. It would also add unwanted weight. Having double dihedral would also make ailerons less effective than rudder.
