IV rigging question...

[jonstark]

Rigging my new model IV I find that when the flap handle is all the way up and I then move the stick to the left that the right flapperon leading edge hits a hinge which then forces the flap handle down a bit. This is not the case when moving the stick full right. Full flap, full right, no flap handle push. Full flap, full left, flap pushed down.

Normal? Or what?:confused:

Thx,
Jon

Jon,
I think that is fairly normal. As I recall in the early days some found that with full flaps they could stall the flaperons. Most block the flap deployment at some point. Mine has a stop at 20 degrees. Since I rarely use flaps, I am definitely not an expert there.

Mine are rigged for full flap deflection of 26 degrees. I've never had flapperon stall or control inversion at this setting. I use full flap deflection often.

I can get enough reflex (flap up) to trim for 70 mph. Sorry I don't know the reverse angle there.

Thanks gents!
