Perhaps you are describing "reverse differential" then? I've heard of it, but never used it. It sounds like you are getting a higher rate on the ailerons when you have spoileron activated (in otherwords, the travel you get when you move the aileron stick is greater if you have spoilerons activated vs when you don't). As I said, the Futaba just works proportinally. On the Futaba, let's say you normally have 20mm of down aileron travel, and you have 50mm of up spoileron travel available. If you then fully deploy the spoilerons, and give full aileron, the downward traveling aileron will still only move 20mm down, leaving it in a postion 30mm above the wing. If I understand you correctly, with your system when the aileron will actually travel through a full 70mm (50mm to cancel out the spoileron, and another 20 to give you full down aileron). Perhaps this is more of an issue on bigger wing planes with flaperons? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
