E-Flite F-16 80mm Mixing Flap/Taileron Maximum Performance Setup

Follow
Two Brothers Radio Control

Here's the first of what I hope will be many more tutorial/instructional videos on how to correctly set up a RC fighter jet for maximum performance.

Flaperon/Taileron configuration can be found via the link above where I posted on RC Groups. To achieve the throws you're seeing here, you will need longer servo arms for the stabs and you will need to use the innermost control arm holes and outermost servo horn holes. 150% rates are a must.

The Spektrum IX/DX setup files may be found here in my Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Feel free to toss questions in the comments and I'll answer anything I can. To answer a popular comment, no, you won't rip the stabilators off with this much deflection. This is why high expo is a must for sensitive control surface setups that push the envelope of what the airframe is capable of!
