Crow Braking
Date: 03/07/2007
The crow braking is tested. In practice, the ailerons don't need to deflect so far up, and there's too much down elevator compensation.

Full Span Ailerons
Date: 03/07/2007
The transmitter has been programmed to provide full-span ailerons - the flap follows the aileron, but not deflect as far as the aileron.

Full Span Flaps
Date: 03/07/2007
There are two flap modes configured in the transmitter - crow braking, and full span flaps. This is where the ailerons droop, effectively dropping the trailing edge of the wing, and increasing camber. However, we don't need as much as that shown here - a few mm down will do nicely for this glider.
