Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / March 2004Aileron differential - help !!
Can someone help me to remember which aileron produces mostly drag during a roll, thus should have a smaller amount of deflection. I can never seem to keep this straight when setting up differential. Thanks in advance -- Ray always more UP than DOWN. Down aileron creates more lift and Up aileron creates more drag. Clear? Hope so! > Can someone help me to remember which aileron produces mostly drag during a > roll, thus should have a smaller amount of deflection.

I set my Cubs/Champs/Citabrias with almost twice as much "up" as "down" . (And rarely fly them sustained inverted) :) Cheers!

They should be the same.

My wing airfoil is flat bottom so I'll go for more up than down. I never though about the symmetrical airfoil, but that is good input also. (no differential for symmetrical). Thanks again !!!!! Ray |
