Computer mixing should not be required for properly designed spoilers. I have never used elevator coupling on any thing but models with flaps. When spoilers are extended at normal speeds, the model should drop the nose slightly to maintain air speed while increasing the rate of descent. If your model doesn't do this then it has a design deficiency. Chuck Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
