Keith Berriman Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have 3 models with full wing airleons and two with airleons only half wing set up on the outer edges. I am finding that the latter two are very sensitive to inputs and having to tweek them down a lot . Does anybody else notice this ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 The ailerons will be more effective outboard as their effect will have more mechanical advantage and they have a deeper chord than strip ailerons making them more efficient as they will work better as camber changing devices. Mind you, I've never had a model with "airleons"! I keep meaning to make a list of the different spellings used for these devices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Berriman Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Maybe spell check should have put Ailerons Hope thats the correct spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Basically no, I have an Seagull Maxi-lift, Astro Hog, Bucker Jungmeister, and Sopwith Camel with outboard ailerons and none of them are over sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, for 'safety' I do the maiden and a couple of other flights with 'high' dual rates set to 100% and 'low' dual rates set to 60%. When happy with the overall 'travels' I set the low dual rates to 100% also. That way it doesn't matter how the rate switches are set as from then on they do nothing.
