So how do you identify an optimum aileron differential?
Here's a test technique:
1. Set up your test differential.

Don't regulate them.
Although I personally feel skegs are unnecessary -- eliminating them make landing tasks harder, and anything that makes competition a little tougher is a good thing -- that is not likely to be a majority opinion in the US -- and why waste the ink adding to the rulebook

The point you make about seperating controls with seperate functions is an interesting one, but becomes hazy in the realm of aircraft control. In an aircraft, the simple 'single' intent to execute a level

It's extreme, but:
The next two posts are the specific observations about flying techniques that I found from watching pilots at the F3B finals. For those familiar with F3B, this is probably old hat, but I find that even reinforcing things I know can be useful.

More observations from the team trials ...
3. Duration
- Not too much different here, except that F3B guys fly heavy airplanes for 10 minute tasks every round, and we'd rather have our 3-5-7 landing contest with 57 oz airplanes. The pilots had a good plan at launch, adjusted for the conditions,

Glenn, I must admit, I'm really interested in BOTH sailplanes and
electrics, so I like the mix. And, I believe they alternate the mix from
issue to issue.

Looking for a good beginner's sailplane? If you're coming to Dallas, I have
a deal for you:
I'll be selling a built, RTF Spirit at the Texas National Tournament in
Dallas this weekend.
The Spirit is built with the two-piece wing option, spoilers installed.
Never crashed, flies great,
Has anyone written/know of a timer, scoring, or flight log program for
PalmOS?
Thanks,
Glenn

Perhaps someone could lay out the details of attending a team selections for
the uninitiated here? For example, what is the difference in attending as an
individual versus a team?
I've toyed with the idea of attending the next F3J selections -- more for the
experience than anything else --

This is interesting so I'll jump in with another alternate method (this will
work on a 783/388 as well):
1. Use glider mode and ENABLE dual flap mode. Select SW + T for flap mode.
2. Plug a Y-harness into channel 1; connect it to the flap servos.
3. Plug outboard ailerons into channels 2

I'm looking for recommendations on a stab airfoil for the full-flying
stabilizer on an open-class thermal duration sailplane.
I was thinking SD8020, but have heard that it has a dedband and requires
turbulation.
Any comments?
Thanks,
