FG36 Split Elevons

Ian demonstrates the split elevon setup on his FG36 Legit Wing. This aircraft has been scrapped, but perhaps more will follow.

RIP Samm. Love the split elevon setup!

[@Mark-Dibble]

This is an awesome build. I’m pretty sure this set up is called “Duckerons” like on the B-2 bomber.

[@OZSCQUADS]

OMG. That would be a fun build. Will have to research the Taranis setup for this. cool work mate.

[@jeffswope1511]

Going to use this on my B2 scratch build. Thanks

[@brendendas]

This is what the hobby's about!

[@whidzee]

Very clever mate. Great ideas there

[@tracythomasvision]

AMAZING INFO and forward thinking!! -RIP SS.

[@geertjeklieder]

Condolences guys.... Samm will be missed 🙁

[@windwalkerfpv]

cool build, would like to try this someday.

[@RotorRanch1]

That's insane ....I so want to fly this wing..I'm going to have to try and build something like this so freaking cool i bet it flys amazing

[@wearemany73]

👍 nice job RIP: Sam

[@adayinthelife5772]

Brakes. Thats so cool.

[@DruideRC]

Thank's

I use the same clamshell dragerons on a flying wing sailplane, but I have a servo on each side, but the result is the same.

[@swissfreek]

That's suuuper cool! I bet it took you a ton of work to get the ailerons coordinated when they were moving in the same direction. I wonder, do you think you could have had an acceptable level of control if you just set them up as spoilers instead of elevons? In other words, the top "layer" only moves up and the bottom "layer" only moves down. That way you wouldn't have to worry about binding (other than adjusting the center point), but you'd still have full control with yaw and brakes and all that. Might have to increase throw on either side a little to account for the surface that doesn't move.

[@MrFadjule]

this is so siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

[@Migueldeservantes]

Hey Youngster!! You wouldn't mind if you can share the procedure of the how to do this??

[@bbingtube]

I put flaps "flaperons" on a an old slope wing, more like crow adjustment really trying to catch it on gnarly exposed cliffs. Never go it to improve my roll rate.

[@Powershotknecht]

cool

[@Iconoclast55]

Could you show us the radio set up.. Thanks

[@GurjeetSingh-bm6us]

For braking i think reverse throttling motor i.e spin same motor in opposite direction is better idea. First came in parrot disco

[@a_mouse6858]

Can you comment on the yaw authority of this approach vs. a laterally split elevon (one up, one down)?

[@FPVTeamLegit]

I've yet to fly something with a split as you describe, but my current hypothesis is that increasing the sideboard area would improve the yaw authority of any setup.

[@STOLerant]

Did you figure out how to do this in INav, and not touch the radio? That would make for a great video imo.

[@waleswideman1]

Do u got flight footage of this

[@EdwardChew]

hmm i see you have racing sim wheel too!

[@mentuemhet]

R.I.P. Samm

[@carrefamily01]

that's filthy(in a good way)

[@longrangefpv]

genius... but why not use airbrakes from glider plane? (disturb the airflow on top of the wing)

[@b00sted_mx59]

we need a flight video please.

[@hygrometer]

is it for air brakes? That will kill the airfoil anyway, lose control.
