Hi Guys
I used to be into R/C planes in a big way but I have sold most of my R/C to pay for my NPPL training. But I kept one that i have just finished building, its a small electric with a V-tail but im confused about how the control surfaces move when you turn. (it has no other control surfaces)
So if you looking at the plane from the back (tail first) when you turn left does the left control surface go up or down?
theory 1. if when you turn left the, left "rudervator" goes up and the right one down the plane in theory would bank left. But then when the plane is banked over the right flap is then vertical (like a rudder) but it is faceing the wrong way and would try to make the plane turn right even when its banked left.
theory 2. if when you turn left the left "rudervator" goes down this would act like an elavator and would turn that side of the plane down and the other "rudervater" would turn its side of the plane up so the plane would bank over.
Thanks MAtt
