> 1) still use aileron differential in 2 and 3 meter planes and > 2) still couple the ailerons to the flaps (so they act as flaperons)
Here's what I use on my Supra: 1) During normal flying: * 10% differential, which is almost nothing in practice * 20% Ail->Rud * 40% Ail->Rud when airbraking The Ail->Rud mix is to make the aileron stick nearly a pure roll control, and it's in no way a replacement for independent ruddering. I still use the rudder stick a lot during circling maneuvers. During launch: * 100% differential * 100% Ail->Rud I use about 12 deg of full-span camber on launch, and trim close to stall. I don't want any downward TE deflection in this condition. 2) Yes, I make the flaps respond to the aileron stick, about 60% as much as the ailerons do. This is a compromise between: - least drag in roll maneuvers (wants flaps moving 33% as much as ailerons) - maximum tip stall resistance (wants flaps moving 100% as much as ailerons) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
