Earlier this week, I spoke with Jon (corsair pilot on the forum) and he was asking about my flaps setup and how it works for me. Well, on this motor glider, I actually have full length Flaperons (Flaps mixed with Ailerons). I believe they are 27" in length and 1.5" wide. I do have some down elevator mixed with the Flaperons because when the flaps are deployed, the glider begins to porpoise and stall. The little bit of down elevator helps smooth things out. I also have some down elevator mixed in with the Throttle so that the glider doesn't "nose-up" when throttle is applied.
It was a gorgeous day to be out flying. My wife and parents joined me and we had a great time!
