Dow Jones. By Gaurav Raghuvanshi and Robert Wall. Hey Danman Nice pictures! I can identify four devices:. My analysis: Picture 1: right turn climb with flaps 1 notch deflected. Ailerons neutral. Picture 2: lifting the right wing while climbing. Flap 1 notch deflected, Picture 3: the wing is clean, cruising configuration.
Picture 4: flight spoilers and flaps are extended for touchdown and braking. The only flaperons I have seen so far were on a A, where during the landing both outboard ailerons were down deflected to increase lift in combination with the flaps and simultaneously moving in opposite directions to control the roll as normal ailerons.
If so what you have described as the inboard aileron Laminar is actually the flaperon I think. See the diagram below:. Thank you ATK. It looks like it could be a flaperon, but in this case it should be deflected in combination with the flaps, in the picture 4. Instead it is neutral, like the aileron…for this reason I believe is just a inboard aileron.
The autopilot will use the aileron's input on Channel 1 and the input of the flap on Channel 5, for example. The mixer will then 'mix' the two inputs and forecast and calculate how the RC plane flaperons move.
This measured result is sent out to each of the output channels of the flaperon. Never rush flying your RC plane without double-checking that your flaperons are working. On the initial set-up, it might take you more time than planned, but eventually, you'd know what needs to be tweaked for your flaperons to work seamlessly. Understanding RC Plane Flaperons. Configurations of a Flaperon Your flaperons will use both your ailerons, with one using a channel each as both ailerons and flaps.
For the Input: Leave the regular aileron input on Channel 1. Add an input channel on your transmitter or controller for flaps control. You can use any of the available input channels for this, but for this guide, we will set it to Servo output channel 5.
Once you have selected your channel, you have to configure your controller to use Channel 5 or whatever channel you selected for flaps via a rotary button or a switch. Transfer your ailerons to two available output channels on your autopilot. For this reading guide, we will set it to Channels 5 and 6.
This is for Flaperon 1 and 2 correspondingly.
