Nice flying. Did you maiden your f18 yet ?

[@markhyde43]

I did. That and the F-16 80mm. I have to upload those. They went well. Both need a little fine tuning. More so the F-16. The F-18 needed a ton of Left roll trim. I have to look into that to see why that is. But I'll get them up.

[@EDF_FANatic]

@markhyde43 mine needed similar trim, for me the ailerons were not mechanically set at neutral, and the flaps were binding at neutral. Once I fixed those two I didn't need any more aileron trim. I rebuilt mine recently after the crash , still dialling her in. Set up tailerons on it now.

[@markhyde43]

@JunsRCinSunbury looking at doing that. I did that on my F-18. That has the same receiver. But the F-16 is a Bind-n- fly and the receiver is preset and locked. Is have to do a factory reset and start over from scratch making it a dual elevator type in order to retain AS3X and safe on both elevators. But your right... Right now I'm the stock BnF set up.. my aileron alignment at zero is not the same at the root at the fuselage even though it is flush with the wing trailing edge at the outboard end. That's not right.. And that is aggravated with flaps deployed 5-10 degrees. So I got to work all that out

@JunsRCinSunbury but the F-18 90mm Flys great after trimming. Does great loops, split 'S's and half Cuban 8s. It's Real easy to land as compared to the F-16. I have tailerons set up as a Aileron to elevator mix so that the elevators only work as elevons / tailerons when I throw a switch and than I'd only do that with full flaps. And they only have maybe 10-15% roll authority when the mix is selected. I haven't needed to throw that switch yet, but it's there if I need it. Have not landed full flaps yet.

@markhyde43 what rates and expo are you using on the f18? I had to move my rudders into the second hole from the tip of the servo arms because of severe cross coupling. Currently at 80 rates for ele and I think 70 rates for ail with 35 expo

Been out of stock forever.
