Super-clear explanation of camber, reflex and snap-flap. I really appreciated the comment about using snap-flaps to help with inverted flight. The bonus was the OpenTx programming section of the video where you programmed it in to the transmitter - extremely well thought out. It was just what I needed

Thanks, I do enjoy making these

Dear sir Andrew, fantastic practical explanatória. I love the simplecety you do things and make it look easy to put um practice!

Thanks again. Short, concise, loaded with great info.

After watching your slope soaring video I gave it a go... Flying my UMX Radian on a hill, had 30 minutes of flight on half a battery. Great fun, thanks for the tips!

Very addictive Mark, you'll be seeking the perfect slope now.

great video! never could wrap my head around this until your explination

Your custom mixes are always amazingly useful Andrew. Once tried, it's not only impossible to go back, but makes me wonder how the hell I put up with non programmable radios for all those years before open TX and Taranis came along..

Nice explanation Andrew. Learned something new. Thanks..)

@Austin Lane Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)

Great explanation. I'm always learning new things watching your channel. Do you normally need to mix in some positive elevator with traditional flaps since that will cause the nose to dip down when deploying flaps? Thanks for the video and Happy Flying!

@AndrewNewton

Usually the other way around. Dropping flaps makes the nose go up, so I usually need down elevator to hold it level. BUT some planes are strange and work the other way

That's good information thanks for the response and Happy Flying!

I cadn't thought about it before, but these adjustments obviously all ow us model fliers to get a little bit of the benefit that a pilot in the seat will have in a full size. Seat of the pants feeling allows him/her to make tiny adjustments on the fly. (pun intended)

Nice collection of airplanes you got there....

Very nice explanation! Thank's and if possible keep make more technical videos about rc soaring. About you TX you using the OpenTX?

Again another great and timely tutorial. Do you use this setup on your U-glider? If so, which do you use most often? I have one on the bench and can hardly wait to get it up in the air. Thanks

I use camber for slope soaring on the U-Glider, when I want to go as high as possible, and reflex for stronger wind to reduce drag

Got it. I built mine with your suggested mods and pull string tail group and will add this to my radio setup. Also just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work, videos and blog. You have been a great help in making me more successful returning to this hobby after a twenty year absence.

Thanks Buzz, that means a lot to me. I'm interested in your spring pull setup. Please let me know how it goes

I like the size of this one I think I shall make this for my fisrt plane glider.

Hi Andrew. How about receiver with gyro, like Frsky S8R? Do you use them and how to set them up on a full house glider? Would be interesting video. Would really like to use one of those to help me with wing gusts

Awesome! I see that le fish no longer has an all moving tail plane. I like the idea of a mostly moving tail plane!

That's right, toned it down a bit for smoother control

I do have a question.. Most planes when "lowering" flaps pitch up and increase lift.. wich makes the snapflap workings logical However other planes when deploying flaps will pitch down.. i had 2 that made that.. notoriously my sloper SIG Ninja (first time i tried flaperons it scared me as it just began to dive fast). i Think its due to the wing acting a bit like a flying wing with elevons and having a short tail moment (The Ninja certain has a short tail momentun) So i wonder if snapflap will work the same with those.. in my Nija i have to program elevator up when using flaperons and/or camber to keep the nose level..and when using both as brakes (spoilerons) i have to program down elevator to keep the nose from raising much.. snapflap in this kind of planes seem that part of the elevator used would be lost in compensating the pitch momentun.. so wonder if it would be worth it

Very good question. I have some planes that do that too, and I don't know the answer.

Flying inverted? If I'd do it on my radio it'll increase the chance for me to stuck the plane into the deck. Not that it happend too seldom even without fancy radio mixing... Let's say it this way: every time I turn a plane inverted I wave the doomed (don't ask my how I know ;o)))

Haha, I know that feeling. I practiced on Pic Sim for ages to get the stick movements correct. I still muck it up occasionally
