You really don't need much elevator on any of the flying wings. On the smaller wings where you only have two servos, usually people seem to end up giving them lots of travel (needed for quick aileron response) but dialing down the travel of the elevator (in their radio) to a reasonable value -- too much and they tend to immediately tip stall. This is pretty noticible on the Zagi clones, but it's really extreme on the short flying wings like the M60 -- properly set up, your aileron stick axis causes much more travel than your elevator stick axis. Sounds like having the outer control surfaces be aileron-only, and the inner surfaces being elevator only (or maybe aileron and elevator) might just be perfect. I wouldn't worry much about having the outer surfaces doing elevator functions too. | I have my flaps and ailerons mixed - as well as full flap and crow mixing. I'll bet crow is nice on that. The best way I've found to slow my flying wings down is to smack them into something. :) -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "What luck for rulers that men do not think." --Adolf Hitler RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
